[9fans] Query on Venti access

[anoop.anoop]

Hi All,

I am new to plan9 and venti. All your help is greatly appreciated.
I am doing a project and my professor suggested that I use venti as a
back end server.

Could any you please let me know whether it is possible to access a
Venti server running on a plan 9 machine from another machine running
Ubuntu? I plan to write a C++ program that will execute on an Ubuntu
system and communicate with the Venti server running on a Plan 9
system. Is this possible?

If this is possible I plan to read up extensively on Venti and educate
myself in this direction.

Regards,
Anoop

The most comprehensive man pages are on swtch.com

Venti uses a simple protocol, the C library is described here :
http://swtch.com/plan9port/man/man3/venti.html

And the source here :
http://swtch.com/usr/local/plan9/src/libventi/

this is the intro

http://swtch.com/plan9port/man/man7/venti.html

mjl already did a client in Limbo so it is obviously possible :)

have a look at plan9port :)

BTW: I'm running both venti and clients on Gentoo systems.
