13 The Venti library provides support for writing Venti servers and clients.
14 This manual page describes general utility functions.
15 .PP
16 Other manual pages describe the library functions in detail.
17 .PP
18 .MR Venti-cache (3)
19 describes a simple in-memory block cache to help clients.
20 .PP
21 .MR Venti-conn (3)
22 describes routines for manipulating network connections
23 between Venti clients and servers.
24 .MR Venti-client (3)
25 and
26 .MR venti-server (3)
27 describe routines for writing clients
28 and servers on top of these.
29 .PP
30 .MR Venti-fcall (3)
31 describes the C representation of Venti protocol messages
32 and data structures.
33 It also describes routines that convert between the C representation
34 and the network and disk representations.
35 .PP
36 .MR Venti-file (3)
37 describes routines for writing clients that manipulate
38 Venti file trees
39 (see
40 .MR venti (7) ).
41 .PP
42 .MR Venti-log (3)
43 describes routines to access in-memory log buffers
44 as well as the logging that is done automatically by
45 the library.
46 .PP
47 .MR Venti-mem (3)
48 describes wrappers around the canonical
49 .MR malloc (3)
50 routines that abort on error.
51 .PP
52 .MR Venti-packet (3)
53 describes routines for 
54 manipulating zero-copy chains of
55 data buffers.
56 .PP
57 .MR Venti-zero (3)
58 describes routines to zero truncate and zero extend blocks
59 (see
60 .MR venti (7) ).
