The DAFS API is intended to be a common, portable Applications Programming Interface, covering equally well both POSIX- and Win32-compliant systems.

DAFS Software Development Kit

The DAFS Software Development Kit (SDK) is a collection of tools and documentation designed to aid in the development of DAFS clients and servers. The SDK consists of: an over-the-wire data description language file; a protocol compiler; a runtime library of routines that simplify constructing, using and tearing down the underlying VI transport used by a DAFS connection; sample application code; and a simple test program (the DTS) that allows the user to set up a basic session between a Solaris client and a DAFS server to test the DAFS over the wire protocol.
