1 | LIBNFS is a client library for accessing NFS shares over a network. |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | LIBNFS offers three different APIs, for different use : | |
| 4 | 1, RAW : A fully async low level rpc library for nfs protocols | |
| 5 | This API is described in include/libnfs-raw.h | |
| 6 | it offers a fully async interface to raw XDR encoded blobs. | |
| 7 | This api provides very flexible and precice control of the RPC issued. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | examples/nfsclient-raw.c provides examples on how to use the raw API | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | 2, NFS ASYNC : A fully asynchronous library for high level vfs functions | |
| 12 | This API is described by the *_async() fucntions in include/libnfs.h. | |
| 13 | This API provides a fully async access to posix vfs like functions such as | |
| 14 | stat(), read(), ... | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | examples/nfsclient-async.c provides examples on how to use this API | |

| 19 | 3, NFS SYNC : A synchronous library for high level vfs functions | |
| 20 | This API is described by the *_sync() fucntions in include/libnfs.h. | |
| 21 | This API provides access to posix vfs like functions such as | |
| 22 | stat(), read(), ... | |
