| Here you can specify a directory name which can contain the DOS wildcards '?' or '*'. This value is evaluated whenever the DBM looks for a specific medium. It is used as search pattern for enumerating subdirectories. By default this value is empty, which corresponds to the pattern "*.*". This is appropriate in most cases. A different pattern must be defined only if you have media of multiple archives in the same directory. E.g. this might be the case if you have a CD-ROM mirror server which mounts every CD with its label in the root directory. In this case it will happen that a medium number occurs in multiple subdirectories. Now you can make the DBM look in the right ones by specifying a correct search pattern. If the media of one archive are labeled "News1", "News2", ... e.g. the pattern would be "News*". Subdirectories with the name "Music1", ... would be ignored. |
