- I found a "l4vfs" in your CVS. What is it?
Hence the name, l4vfs implements a kind of virtual file system switch, but I'm far from the right person to give voluminous information. Maybe somebody else could step in here?
I'm the main author and quote from my README in l4vfs/:
"L4VFS is a collection of interfaces, servers, and client and server libraries. The name L4VFS is an abbreviation of "L4 virtual file system". It is built around a name_server, which helps when dealing with multiple objects in a hierarchical namespace.
L4VFS can be used to more easily port posix applications to L4, as the client libs provide posix-like functions, that is, the client libs act as an libc backend.
Please also look into the documentation in 'l4/pkg/l4vfs/doc' and in 'l4/pkg/dietlibc/'."
If there is anything more detailed you would like to know, just ask, but look into the docs before that.
