# status should be stable.  in use for some time.  note that this softwarehas been superseded by ventisrv for inferno and is not developedfurther.  # intro memventi is a venti daemon, it speaks the same venti protocol asthe real venti in Plan 9 from Bell Labs.  in short, it is a storageserver that stores data blocks up to 56kb using its sha1 hash (calledits score) to address it.  the main difference between memventi andventi is that where venti keeps an index of present scores in a bigon-disk lookup table, memventi keeps the index in memory (in anmemory-efficient manner).  this allows for a simpler design thoughwith limited storage capacity.  the manual page for memventi hopefullyanswers most questions, if not you can always ask me by email.  # documentation see the manual page, memventi.8.  # author & license. this code was written by mechiel lukkien, mechiel@ueber.net ormechiel@xs4all.nl.  all code is in the public domain.  # todo see the caveats-section in the manual page, and the file todo.txt.
