Linux NVM Library

This is doc/README.

This directory contains source for the man pages for the NVM Library.
If you're looking for documentation to get you started using NVML,
start here: http://pmem.io/nvml and follow the links to examples and
man pages.  Developers new to NVML are probably looking for libpmemobj.
To generate web-based documentation, you need to have groff and doxygen
installed.

These man pages provide the API specification for the corresponding libraries
in this source tree, so any updates to one should be tested, reviewed, and
committed with changes to the other.

The following two files are initial man pages for experimental components
still under development:

librpmem(3) -- remote access to persistent memory
    Man page source is in librmpem.3
    HTML formatted version: http://pmem.io/nvml/rpmem/librpmem.3.html

rpmemd(1) -- remote persistent memory daemon
    Man page source is in rpmemd.1
    HTML formatted version: http://pmem.io/nvml/rpmem/rpmemd.1.html

To create more readable text files from the source, use:
	$ make
An even more convenient way to read these is to use the "man" command to
format them (includes bold, underline, etc. when run in a terminal window):
	$ man -l libpmem.3
	$ man -l libvmem.3
