You're getting 2 different things confused. The libpvfs2 that PVFS2
provides is not suitable for use as a target for application developers.

The I/O interface that is mentioned, is the Linux kernel module for
PVFS2.  If you compile and install the kernel module on your client
systems, you can use mount(8) to mount PVFS2 filesystems, and interact
with them with open/read/write/close just as you normally would any
other filesystem.

I think perhaps the wording in section 5.1 of the PVFS2 guide could be
reworded to be a bit clearer.
