The include file <vapi/vsm.h> provides the supported API for accessing
VSM files.
VSM and Containers
------------------
The varnish way works great with single purpose containers. By sharing
the varnish working directory read-only, vsm readers can be run in
containers separate from those running varnishd instances on the same
host.
When running varnishd and vsm readers in the same process namespace,
pid information can be used by vsm readers to determine if varnishd
processes are alive.
But, when running varnishd and vsm readers in different containers,
the pid information has no relevance and may even be ambiguous across
name spaces.
Thus, with such setups, the environment variable VSM_NOPID needs to be
set for vsm readers to disable use of pid information.
