 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Creators of custom hardware can create drivers that use the UHD API.
 These drivers can be built as dynamically loadable modules that the UHD will load at runtime.
-For a module to be loaded at runtime, it must be found in the UHD_MODULE_PATH environment variable.
