.SH DESCRIPTION
.B hedera
is an enterprise management and administration application. It features modular
conectivity to user-made modules.
.PP
Being so easily extensible,
.B hedera
can handle virtually any task related to a database if the right module is
available. The modules can be written in C or in Vala.
.PP
By default
.B hedera
will look for the modules in /usr/lib/hedera/module and for its corresponding
data (GUI files, configuration...) in /usr/share/hedera/module but more
directories can be added by setting 
.B VN_MODULE_LIB_PATH
(for the binaries), 
.B VN_MODULE_DATA_PATH
(for the additional data) and
.B VN_MODULE_QUERY_PATH
(for SQL query files) that can also be set automatically passing the 
corresponding options. These environment variables are intended for testing
during the developement and the expected is to use the modules installed.
.PP
The format for the configuration files for the modules and some information on
how to write the modules themselves, can be seen in the official documentation
for
.B hedera.
