NAME

venti - archival storage server

SYNOPSIS

#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
#include <venti.h>

DESCRIPTION

The Venti library provides support for writing Venti servers and clients. This manual page describes general utility functions.

Other manual pages describe the library functions in detail.

Venti-cache((3)) describes a simple in-memory block cache to help clients.

Venti-conn((3)) describes routines for manipulating network connections between Venti clients and servers. Venti-client((3)) and venti-server((3)) describe routines for writing clients and servers on top of these.

Venti-fcall((3)) describes the C representation of Venti protocol messages and data structures. It also describes routines that convert between the C representation and the network and disk representations.

Venti-file((3)) describes routines for writing clients that manipulate Venti file trees (see venti((7))).

Venti-log((3)) describes routines to access in-memory log buffers as well as the logging that is done automatically by the library.

Venti-mem((3)) describes wrappers around the canonical malloc((3)) routines that abort on error.

Venti-packet((3)) describes routines for manipulating zero-copy chains of data buffers.

Venti-zero((3)) describes routines to zero truncate and zero extend blocks (see venti((7))).
