Description

Report needed documentation

Report needed documentation
Vamana disk build serializer creates several different files, and usage with the CPU DiskANN repo is complicated. Documentation needed about which files are created and how to use them fro searching with CPU DiskANN. Possibly need to change / streamline file name formats and options to make the usage as simple as possible.

Describe the documentation you'd like
Clear documentation on files created by cuVS vamana serialize (with different options) and how they can be used by CPU DiskANN search. Some sample code would be helpful here as well.
