DESCRIPTION
The programming interface the Shore Storage Manager (SSM) comprises the public interfaces of the above classes. In addition, there are support classes referenced in the "See Also" section below. For more general information on the SSM interface, see The Shore Storage Manager Programming Interface.

ENVIRONMENT
The above classes are only useful in the multi-threaded environment that is created when using the SSM. The SSM relies heavily on support classes from the fc/, common/, and sthread/ directories.

ERRORS
Error returned by methods in the above classes are described in errors(ssm).

VERSION
This manual page applies to Version 1.1.1 of the Shore software.

SPONSORSHIP
The Shore project is sponsored by the Advanced Research Project Agency, ARPA order number 018 (formerly 8230), monitored by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory under contract DAAB07-91-C-Q518.
