NAME

perfuse_mount, perfuse_open — Request a puffs(3) mount from perfused(8)

LIBRARY

library “libperfuse”

SYNOPSIS

#include <perfuse.h>

int
perfuse_mount(const char *source, const char *dir, const char *filesystemtype, long int mountflags, void *data);

int
perfuse_open(const char *path, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

perfuse_mount() sends a mount request to perfused(8). It is intended as a drop-in replacement for mount(2) for FUSE file systems daemons and libraries, so that they can work with perfused(8).

The function prototype mimics Linux's mount(2), with the following arguments:

source

The source file system that will appear in df(1) and mount(8) listings. Defaults to /dev/fuse if NULL.

dir

The file system mount point.

filesystemtype

The file system type, as displayed by df(1) and mount(8). Defaults to “fuse” if NULL.

mountflags

This contains the same value as a mount(2) flags argument.

data

This contains the same value as a mount(2) data argument.

perfuse_open() is a drop-in replacement for the open(2) system call where /dev/fuse is used. If path is different than /dev/fuse, perfuse_open() handles control to the regular open(2).

RETURN VALUES

perfuse_mount() returns a file descriptor to the /dev/fuse socket on success, and causes exit on failure.
