The Data Management API is a tool for managing data that enables users to access and manipulate data across different systems and applications. This API allows developers to create custom workflows to automate data processing and to integrate different data sources into a single system.
If you're a user of the XFS filesystem, you'll want to check out DMAPI (Data Management API), a library designed specifically for it. Here's what you need to know about installation:
The installation process is relatively simple. You'll first need to navigate to the directory that contains the package's source code. From there, you'll run the `./configure` command to configure the package for your system. If you're using `csh` on an old version of System V, you may need to type `sh ./configure` instead to prevent `csh` from trying to execute `configure` itself. Running `configure` takes some time, during which it prints messages related to the features it's checking for.
Next, type `make` to compile the package. Optionally, you can choose to run any self-tests that come with the package by typing `make check`. Once the compilation is complete, type `make install` to install the programs as well as any data files and documentation.
If you want to remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, type `make clean`. To also remove the files that `configure` created so that you can compile the package for a different kind of computer, type `make distclean`. There is another command, `make maintainer-clean`, but it's mainly intended for the package's developers. If you use it, you may need to get additional programs to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Overall, DMAPI is a useful library that can help simplify the management of your XFS filesystem.
