+# NIXL HF3FS Plugin
+
+This plugin utilizes `hf3fs_usrbio.so` as an I/O backend for NIXL.
+
+## Usage
+1. Build and install [3FS](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/3FS/).
+2. Ensure that 3FS libraries,`hf3fs_usrbio.so` and `libhf3fs_api_shared.so`, are installed under `/usr/lib/`.
+3. Ensure that 3FS headers are installed under `/usr/include/hf3fs`.
+4. Build NIXL.
+5. Once the HF3FS Backend is built, you can use it in your data transfer task by specifying the backend name as "HF3FS":
+
+```cpp
+nixl_status_t ret1;
+std::string ret_s1;
+nixlAgentConfig cfg(true);
+nixl_b_params_t init1;
+nixl_mem_list_t mems1;
+nixlBackendH      *hf3fs;
+nixlAgent A1(agent1, cfg);
+ret1 = A1.getPluginParams("HF3FS", mems1, init1);
+assert (ret1 == NIXL_SUCCESS);
+ret1 = A1.createBackend("HF3FS", init1, hf3fs);
+...
+```
