| paul@395 | 5 | The Departure distribution aims to provide components and libraries to |
| paul@395 | 6 | implement and deliver filesystem access in the L4 Runtime Environment. In |
| paul@395 | 7 | particular, it acts as a research and testing vehicle for implementations of |
| paul@398 | 8 | demand-paged files provided by filesystems. |
