Using this interface to create a file might consist of the following steps.
.IP \[bu]
Allocate a layout with
-.BR llapi_layout_alloc() .
+.BR llapi_layout_alloc (3).
.IP \[bu]
Assign attribute values using the
-.B llapi_layout_*_set()
+.B llapi_layout_*_set (3)
functions.
.IP \[bu]
Create the file using
-.BR llapi_layout_file_create() .
+.BR llapi_layout_file_create (3).
.IP \[bu]
Free the layout memory using
-.BR llapi_layout_free() .
+.BR llapi_layout_free (3).

Similarly, these steps might be used to read a file layout:
.IP \[bu]
Obtain the layout with
-.BR llapi_layout_get_by_path() ,

.IP \[bu]
Read attribute values using the
-.B llapi_layout_*_get()
+.B llapi_layout_*_get (3)
+functions.
+.IP \[bu]
+Free the layout memory using
+.BR llapi_layout_free (3).
+.PP
+Using this interface to create a file with composite layout consists of the
+following steps.
+.IP \[bu]
+Allocate first layout component with
+.BR llapi_layout_alloc (3).
+.IP \[bu]
+Assign attribute values using the
+.B llapi_layout_*_set (3)
+functions.
+.IP \[bu]
+Allocate second layout component with

+.IP \[bu]
+Assign attribute values to second layout using the

functions.
.IP \[bu]
+Repeat above two steps to add more components.
+.IP \[bu]
+Create the file using
