.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
.ft L
#include <u.h>
.br
#include <libc.h>
.br
#include <venti.h>
.SH DESCRIPTION
The Venti library provides support for writing Venti servers and clients.
This manual page describes general utility functions.
.PP
Other manual pages describe the library functions in detail.
.PP
.MR Venti-cache 3
describes a simple in-memory block cache to help clients.
.PP
.MR Venti-conn 3
describes routines for manipulating network connections
between Venti clients and servers.
.MR Venti-client 3
and
.MR venti-server 3
describe routines for writing clients
and servers on top of these.
.PP
.MR 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.
.PP
.MR Venti-file 3
describes routines for writing clients that manipulate
Venti file trees
(see
.MR venti 7 ).
.PP
.MR Venti-log 3
describes routines to access in-memory log buffers
as well as the logging that is done automatically by
the library.
.PP
.MR Venti-mem 3
describes wrappers around the canonical
.MR malloc 3
routines that abort on error.
.PP
.MR Venti-packet 3
describes routines for 
manipulating zero-copy chains of
data buffers.
.PP
.MR Venti-zero 3
describes routines to zero truncate and zero extend blocks
(see
.MR venti 7 ).

tmac/tmac.an: define .MR in a groff compatible way groff 1.23.0 added .MR to its -man macro package. The NEWS file states that the inclusion of the macro "was prompted by its introduction to Plan 9 from User Space's troff in August 2020." From d32deab it seems that the name for Plan 9 from User Space's implementation was suggested by groff maintainer G. Brandon Robinson. Not sure if the intention was to make these definitions compatible, but it would be nice if they were. Currently, Plan 9 from User Space's .MR expects its second argument to be parenthesized. groff's .MR does not. This results in extra parentheses appearing in manual references when viewing Plan 9 from User Space's manual pages on a system using groff. 2024-01-31 20:47:13 +03:00			`.MR Venti-cache 3`
