MIO_DEFAULTS

The purpose of the MIO_DEFAULTS environment variable is to aid in the readability of the data stored in the MIO_FILES environment variable.

If the user specifies several modules for multiple file_name_list and module list pairs, then the MIO_FILES environment variable can become quite long. If the user repeatedly overrides the hard-coded defaults in the same manner, it is simpler to specify new defaults for a module by using the MIO_DEFAULTS environment variable. This environment variable is a comma-separated list of modules with their new defaults, as in the following example:
MIO_DEFAULTS = trace/events=prob.events , aix/debug
Now any default invocation of the trace module will have binary event tracing enabled and directed towards the prob.events file and any default invocation of the aix module will have the debug option enabled.
