.SH DESCRIPTION
.B hedera
is a database access aplication. It features modular conectivity to user-made
modules. The modules can be written in C or in Vala.
.PP
By default
.B hedera
will look for the modules at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hedera/module and for
its corresponding data (GUI files, configuration...) at /usr/share/hedera/module
and at /usr/share/hedera/module/{name-of-the-module}/sql for module specific SQL
query files, but more directories can be added by setting the environment
variables
.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.
