[OpenAFS-devel] want to use openafs to get remote files back to local cache

Thanks for your answer.
I found some document about "AFS-3 Programmer's Reference". There are five
pdf document files that I download them from openafs online document. Their
names are "Architectural Overview", "Authentication Server Interface", "Bos
Server Interface", "File Server/Cache Manager Interface", "Specification for
the Rx Remote Procedure Call Facility", "Volume Server/Volume Location
Server Interface". I want to design an intelligent system that can
automatically prefetch remote files from server to the client. Can I use AFS
and program on it to attain my goal? If not, what can AFS-3 Programmer's
Reference do on AFS system?
Thanks so much.
