You can implement a fs only by calling .Fn fuse_main and giving this function the .Em ops argument containing all the callbacks of your filesystems. Or you can use all others functions. .Ss FUNCTIONS .Fn fuse_new Fuse new return a .Fa struct fuse That will be needed by .Fn fuse_loop .Pp .Fn fuse_parse_cmdline This function will parse the .Fa struct fuse_args given by the user and will set .Fa mp with a char * containing the mountpoint directory. .Pp .Fn fuse_mount Will look for an empty .Xr fuse 4 device to create a connection. If this function find an available device it will open it to use it for fuse communication with the fuse VFS driver and will mount the filesystem. This function will return a .Fa struct fuse_chan that will be needed by .Fn fuse_new .Pp .Fn fuse_remove_signal_handlers I do not know yet what this function is supposed to do... .Pp .Fn fuse_set_signal_handlers I do not know yet what this function is supposed to do... .Pp .Fn fuse_get_session returns a pointer on the structure .Fa fuse_session contained in a .Fa struct fuse .Pp .Fn fuse_is_lib_option check if the string .Fa opt is an option handled by the libfuse or by the fuse client. It returns 1 if it is handled by the lib and 0 in the other case. .Pp .Fn fuse_loop_mt Do not use! It is not supported yet (and we will probably never need it...) .Pp .Fn fuse_loop This is the mainloop of a fuse program. This function will look for fuse request from kernel and will respond to it using the .Fa struct fuse_operation present in the structure .Fa fuse. It will return only if something goes wrong or if the kernel send a .Fa FUSE_DESTROY opcode to libfuse. .Pp .Fn fuse_chan_fd returns the filedescriptor used by the given .Fa fuse_chan structure. .Pp .Fn fuse_unmount unmount the .Fa dir mountpoint. .Pp .Fn fuse_daemonize daemonise the fuse library. It will permit to background the fuse program that will continue to handles kernel filesystems opcodes. .Pp .Fn fuse_destroy I do not know yet what this function is supposed to do... .Sh EXAMPLE Here is a simple example of a fuse implementation: .Bd -literal #include #include #include static int fs_readdir(const char *path, void *data, fuse_fill_dir_t filler, off_t off, struct fuse_file_info *ffi) { if (strcmp(path, "/") != 0) return (-ENOENT); filler(data, ".", NULL, 0); filler(data, "..", NULL, 0); filler(data, "file", NULL, 0); return (0); } static int fs_read(const char *path, char *buf, size_t size, off_t off, struct fuse_file_info *ffi) { if (off >= 5) return (0); size = 5 - off; memcpy(buf, "data." + off, size); return (size); } static int fs_open(const char *path, struct fuse_file_info *ffi) { if (strncmp(path, "/file", 10) != 0) return (-ENOENT); if ((ffi->flags & 3) != O_RDONLY) return (-EACCES); return (0); } static int fs_getattr(const char *path, struct stat *st) { if (strcmp(path, "/") == 0) { st->st_blksize = 512; st->st_mode = 0755; st->st_nlink = 2; } else if (strcmp(path, "/file") == 0) { st->st_mode = 0644; st->st_blksize = 512; st->st_nlink = 1; st->st_size = 5; } else { return (-ENOENT); } return (0); } struct fuse_operations fsops = { .readdir = fs_readdir, .read = fs_read, .open = fs_open, .getattr = fs_getattr, }; int main(int ac, char **av) { return (fuse_main(ac, av, &fsops, NULL)); } .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO The .Tn FUSE specifications and orignal implementation can be found at: .Lk http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ .Pp .Xr fuse 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm library first appeared in .Ox 5.4 . .Sh BUGS This man page is woefully incomplete
