Syntax

SHOW PLUGIN PATH

[post_processing_option]

[output_redirecting_option]

Description

Show (i.e. get) the path where plugins (in the form of shared libraries) are searched for and dynamically loaded by HDFql/HDF5 library.

Parameter(s)

post_processing_option – optional option that transforms the result set according to the programmer’s needs, such as ordering or truncating (please refer to the section PROCESSING for additional information).

output_redirecting_option – optional option that specifies the cursor in use, an HDF5 object (i.e. dataset or attribute), a (text, binary, or Excel) file, or memory (i.e. user-defined variable) to write the result set into (please refer to the subsection INTO for additional information). If not specified, the cursor in use is populated with the result set instead (please refer to the chapter CURSOR for additional information).

Return

The path where plugins (in the form of shared libraries) are searched for and dynamically loaded by HDFql/HDF5 library as an HDFQL_VARCHAR.

Example(s)

# set path where plugins (in the form of shared libraries) are searched for and dynamically loaded by HDFql/HDF5 library to "/home/dummy" and "/usr/lib"
SET PLUGIN PATH /home/dummy, /usr/lib

# show (i.e. get) path where plugins (in the form of shared libraries) are searched for and dynamically loaded by HDFql/HDF5 library (should return "/home/dummy" and "/usr/lib")
SHOW PLUGIN PATH 

# set path where plugins (in the form of shared libraries) are searched for and dynamically loaded by HDFql/HDF5 library to the default value
SET PLUGIN PATH DEFAULT 

# show (i.e. get) path where plugins (in the form of shared libraries) are searched for and dynamically loaded by HDFql/HDF5 library (should return "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%/hdf5/lib/plugin" (on Windows) or "/usr/local/hdf5/lib/plugin" (on Linux/macOS), as well as ".")
