The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime
(APR) project is to create and maintain
software libraries that provide a predictable
and consistent interface to underlying platform-
specific implementations. The primary goal is
to provide an API to which software
developers may code and be assured of
predictable if not identical behaviour
regardless of the platform on which their
software is built, relieving them of the need to
code special-case conditions to work around
or take advantage of platform-specific
deficiencies or features.
