🎀 VENTI(3) 🎀

okay so welcome to VENTI(3), bestie — this is the Library Functions Manual page for the Venti library, and it's giving "backstage pass to the archival storage server universe" ✨

💖 NAME 💖

venti — archival storage server 🗄️👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The Venti library is literally here to support writing Venti servers and clients, no cap. This manual page describes the general utility functions — the everyday glue, the little helpers, the "we ride at dawn" support crew 🫶

Other manual pages describe the library functions in detail. So consider this one the group-chat intro, and the rest the deep-dive voice notes 😭

  • 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)) 🕳️
