+Chkpt provides a simple interface (C and Fortran) to user-level
+checkpointing. ``Checkpointing'' describes the action to periodically
+save process information on permanent storage (on hard disk,
+typically). After a system failure a process may be continued from
+the saved state, from the checkpoint.
