+# AVL
+
+AVL is a library indexing objects in B-Trees.
+
+`avl_insert()`, `avl_remove()` and `avl_search()` are adaptations
+of the AVL algorithm found in `libavl` v2.0.3, so that they do not
+use any memory allocations and their memory footprint is optimized
+(by eliminating non-necessary data members).
+
+In addition to the above, this version of AVL, provides versions using locks
+and traversal functions. \ No newline at end of file
