+ <title>Notes</title>
+
+ <para>This interface is provided by the reference
+ implementation of APIs for controlling boot-time
+ read-ahead and distributed with the systemd
+ package. The algorithms it implements are simple, and
+ can easily be reimplemented in daemons if it is
+ important to support this interface without using the
+ reference implementation. See the respective function
+ man pages for details.</para>
+
+ <para>In addition, for details about the algorithms
+ check the liberally licensed reference implementation
+ sources:
+ <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/sd-readahead.c"/>
+ resp. <ulink url="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/sd-readahead.h"/></para>
+
+ <para>These APIs are implemented in the reference
+ implementation's drop-in
+ <filename>sd-readahead.c</filename> and
+ <filename>sd-readahead.h</filename> files. It is
+ recommended that applications consuming these APIs copy
+ the implementation into their source tree, either
+ verbatim or in excerpts. These interfaces are
+ currently not available in a dynamic library.</para>
+
+ <para>The functions provided by this interface become
+ NOPs when -DDISABLE_SYSTEMD is set during
+ compilation. In addition, if
+ <filename>sd-readhead.c</filename> is compiled on
+ non-Linux systems it becomes NOPs.</para>
