    <title>Introduction to Apr</title>

    <para>
      The Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is a supporting library for the
      Apache web server. It provides a set of application programming interfaces
      (APIs) that map to the underlying Operating System (OS). Where the OS
      doesn't support a particular function, APR will provide an emulation. Thus
      programmers can use the APR to make a program portable across different
      platforms.
