The Camelot library: A C language extension for programming a general purpose distributed transaction system

The Camelot library extends the programming language to provide a high-level programming interface to Camelot, a general-purpose distributed transaction system. The Camelot library is implemented as a collection of C functions and macros. The interface presented by the library also provides a concise high-level model of the services offered by a general-purpose transaction system. A broad overview of the interface is given, and implementation experience is briefly summarized.<<ETX>>
