NAStore 3.0.0 External Reference Specification

Bill Ross

This document is the NAStore External Reference Specification. It describes the overall design of NAStore. It specifies all user interaction with NAStore. It is one of a series of documents intended to come into existence and develop during the life of the NAStore project.


The External Reference Specification describes the component parts of NAStore and how they interact, defines the user and administrator interface, and provides reference information on the databases and their formats. For information on NAStore internals, please consult the Internal Design Specification. The following sections contain an overall description of the design. Though most user interaction with NAStore continues to look like interaction with a normal UNIX operating system, programmer interfaces and system administrator interfaces are expanded. Each section includes descriptions of these expansions.
