the SPDK libraries.

Hey Seth,

What's the long-term plan for this?

One comment is that the names have some duplication. For example, the directory name probably doesn't need to include both "spdk" and "example" if the repository itself is named "spdk_examples".

Is there any reason we can't review these via GerritHub?

Hi Jim,

I don't know what the long term scope of this repo should be. It seems appropriate to me to have some external repo to demonstrate examples of linking to SPDK from outside of the SPDK directory without all of the SPDK makefile infrastructure. It's something we get a lot of questions about, and it would be good to have a place to point people.

A lot of other examples will fit easily under the umbrella of the examples directory in the SPDK repo. I can't think of any other specific examples to go in this repo, but both you and Ben have mentioned not wanting to include examples that increase the dependency load of the SPDK directory directly in the examples directory.

The only reason we can't review these on GerritHub is that we don't have this repo set up with it yet.

Thanks,

Seth
