LCG File Catalog (LFC)
=======================


Overview
--------

The LCG File Catalog (LFC) is a data management solution provided by LCG.

The LFC allows to see the files in a typical hierarchical file system :
users can create directories and files as well as symlinks to them.
They can also create file replicas.

As a usual file system, permissions and Access Control Lists can be defined 
on each of the files and directories.

Each of the files/directories have a GUID attached to them, which ensures 
their uniqueness.
