GFAL 2.0

GFAL2 is a framework for Grid and Cloud file access, file transfer and file management.

The GFAL 2.0 library : The GFAL 2.0 library (gfal2-core) provides a unified and protocol-generic API for file access, file transfer and file management operations in Grid and Cloud environments. GFAL 2.0 allows to build applications using the Grid technologies ( file, GridFTP, RFIO, Dcap, SRM, LFC, Http/Dav, xrootd ) in a transparent manner.

The GFAL 2.0 transfer library: The GFAL 2.0 transfer library (gfal2-transfer) is an addit
