You can check documentation for the APIs available in glfs.h.

https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/api/src/glfs.h

If you need more clarification on the APIs, please start a thread on gluster-devel.

All of GlusterFS is dual licensed under GNU Lesser
General Public License, version 3 or any later version (LGPLv3 or
later), or the GNU General Public License, version 2 (GPLv2). If your proprietary application can be designed to be compatible with one of these licenses, you can distribute it for commercial purposes. It is always a good idea to sanity check usage of an open source project with your legal folks.

Comment 4 santhoshvarala2007 2014-03-06 12:32:52 UTC
Please provide a series of steps involved in running libgfapi using c/c++ code accessing glusterfs volumes.

I am not able go with the examples. 

Atleast readme .txt is enough which provides all the necessary step .



My configuration are :

I have created 2 glusterfs server nodes with one volumne.

Now i want use libgfapi to access the volume,

I am able to do GlusterFs Native Client. But i want to use gfapi.

GlusterFS 3.7.0 has been released (http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2015-May/021901.html), and the Gluster project maintains N-2 supported releases. The last two releases before 3.7 are still maintained, at the moment these are 3.6 and 3.5.

This bug has been filed against the 3,4 release, and will not get fixed in a 3.4 version any more. Please verify if newer versions are affected with the reported problem. If that is the case, update the bug with a note, and update the version if you can. In case updating the version is not possible, leave a comment in this bug report with the version you tested, and set the "Need additional information the selected bugs from" below the comment box to "bugs".

If there is no response by the end of the month, this bug will get automatically closed.

GlusterFS 3.4.x has reached end-of-life.\                                                   \                                                                               If this bug still exists in a later release please reopen this and change the version or open a new bug.
