The environment variable ECCODES_DEFINITION_PATH can be set to locate local BUFR tables. This is similar to how the PATH environment variable works in Unix, it is a list of directories separated by colons (":") on Unix and semi-colons (";") on Windows:
export ECCODES_DEFINITION_PATH=/path/to/local/defs:/path/to/default/defs
The library searches for each required definition file first in /path/to/local/defs and then in /path/to/default/defs. If the file is found in /path/to/local/defs then it is used by the decoding engine.
