This directory contains halfiles (*.hal and *.tcl) that are available
using the LinuxCNC halfile search path or by an explicit directive.
The HALLIB_PATH is '.:HALLIB_DIR'
The '.' specifies the directory containing the INI file.
HALIB_DIR specifies this directory.
The explicit directive uses a prefix (LIB:) to identify halfiles:
[HAL]
HALFILE = LIB:filename.[hal|tcl]
The LinuxCNC startup script (linuxcnc) finds each halfile using the
HALLIB_PATH unless the explicit directive is used.
Also included in this directory are files associated with included
system halfiles. For example, the button layout files
(xhc-hb04-layout*.cfg) that are used with the halfile xhc-hb04.tcl.
