NAME

a.path − report or change VADS library search list

FORMAT

a.path [option VADS_library1 [VADS_library2]]

DESCRIPTION

A list of libraries to be searched during compilation is maintained in the current VADS library directory in the file ada.lib. a.path changes or reports the list of library names contained there. During compilation, any program units not found in the current library will be searched for in the VADS libraries listed on the search list. If the unit is not found in the first VADS library, it is searched for in the second, and so on in listed order. When a.path is used with no options, it reports the contents of the current library search list, one library to a line. 

OPTIONS

-a VADS_library1 [VADS_library2]
(append) Append VADS_library1 after VADS_library2.  With a single argument, append VADS_library1 to the end of the library search list. 

-i VADS_library1 [VADS_library2]
(insert) Insert VADS_library1 before VADS_library2.  With a single argument, insert VADS_library1 at the beginning of the list. 

-r VADS_library1
(remove) Remove VADS_library1 from the list. 

-v (verbose) Display path as it is changed. 

-t (target) Display library search list and target information. 

-x VADS_library1
(except) Remove all except VADS_library1 from the list. 

BUGS

Removing a library name from the library search list does not remove compilation information from the referenced libraries. 
 
Maximum length of the library search list is currently limited to 2048 characters.
