Netatalk is an implementation of the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), for offering file service (mainly) to macOS clients.

Compared to the Windows-native SMB protocol (which is also supported on macOS), the Macintosh-native AFP protocol is accessible from a different network, can be simpler to setup and faster for some operations (e.g. server-to-server copying), and some features (e.g. the backup service Time Machine) may work more reliably than over SMB.

This package contains the debugging symbols for Netatalk.
