the driver parameter tells GLUE to add a dependency for the named
driver. In essence, this is what happens when you add a driver (or
library) dependency:
- When your application launches, the system will attempt to
load the driver.
- If it is unable to load the driver, it will abort the application
launch with a "missing system file" or similar error.
- If the driver is found and loaded, the application will launch
with the assurance that the driver is loaded (so it doesn't have
to worry about failed attempts at loading the driver at some
later time).
Just my overly brief perspective.
