+ HOW TO ADD A NEW FOP TO GlusterFS
+ =================================
+
+Steps to be followed when adding a new FOP to GlusterFS:
+
+1. Edit glusterfs.h and add a GF_FOP_* constant.
+
+2. Edit xlator.[ch] and:
+ 2a. add the new prototype for fop and callback.
+ 2b. edit xlator_fops structure.
+
+3. Edit xlator.c and add to fill_defaults.
+
+4. Edit protocol.h and add struct necessary for the new FOP.
+
+5. Edit defaults.[ch] and provide default implementation.
+
+6. Edit call-stub.[ch] and provide stub implementation.
+
+7. Edit common-utils.c and add to gf_global_variable_init().
+
+8. Edit client-protocol and add your FOP.
+
+9. Edit server-protocol and add your FOP.
+
+10. Implement your FOP in any translator for which the default implementation
+ is not sufficient.
