8.0;inlib (install_library), revision 8.0, 84/03/03
INLIB (INSTALL_LIBRARY) -- Install a user-supplied library.
usage:  INLIB pathname


FORMAT

  INLIB pathname


  INLIB  installs  a  library  at  the  current  Shell program level; it remains
  installed until the Shell that installed it exits.  (To load a library that is
  used by ALL processes, see note below.)  The newly installed library  will  be
  used  to  resolve external references of programs (and libraries) loaded after
  its installation.  (Thus, previously loaded libraries and programs will NOT be
  affected.)

  INLIB is an internal shell command.

  NOTE: At Version 4.1 and later you can create a library that will be installed
        automatically in every process.    This  library  resides  in  the  /LIB
        directory  and  is  called  USERLIB.PRIVATE.  The procedure text in this
        library will be shared among all processes.

        This library must be present  at  node  startup  time  in  order  to  be
        installed.   After copying your library to /LIB/USERLIB.PRIVATE with the
        Shell command CPF (COPY_FILE), you must shut down the node and start  it
        up  again  in  order  to  use  the library.  Changes to the library also
        require rebooting the node to load the new routines.

        Global names in /LIB/USERLIB.PRIVATE must not duplicate  names  used  in
        DOMAIN libraries.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)         Specify name of library file to be installed.
