When files are located beneath the following special folders:

description path
User Libraries <LabVIEW>\user.lib
NI Libraries and Addons <LabVIEW>\vi.lib
Instrument Drivers <LabVIEW>\instr.lib

Callers that link to these files will link to them using a pseudopath, rather than an absolute or relative path. The pseudopath will be relative to the special folder:

For example, if you have a VI located in the following location:

<LabVIEW>\user.lib\_OpenG.lib\array\array.llb\Conditional Auto-Indexing Tunnel__ogtk.vi

Callers will link to this VI using the following pseudopath:

<userlib>\_OpenG.lib\array\array.llb\Conditional Auto-Indexing Tunnel__ogtk.vi

The following are valid pseudopaths:

pseudopath path
<userlib> <LabVIEW>\user.lib
<vilib> <LabVIEW>\vi.lib
<instrlib> <LabVIEW>\instr.lib

Pseudopaths are not generally encountered. They are used mostly under the hood of LabVIEW, for example, when using the Application Linker:Read Info From File and Linker:Write Info To File methods.
