Crate fuse_mt

FuseMT -- A higher-level FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) interface and wrapper around the low-level rust-fuse library that makes implementing a filesystem a bit easier.

FuseMT translates inodes to paths and dispatches I/O operations to multiple threads, and simplifies some details of filesystem implementation, for example: splitting the setattr call into multiple separate operations, and simplifying the readdir call so that filesystems don't need to deal with pagination.

To implement a filesystem, implement the FilesystemMT trait. Not all functions in it need to be implemented -- the default behavior is to return ENOSYS ("Function not implemented"). For example, a read-only filesystem can skip implementing the write call and many others.

Structs

CallbackResult	Dummy struct returned by the callback in the read() method. Cannot be constructed outside this crate, read() requires you to return it, thus ensuring that you don't forget to call the callback.
CreatedEntry	The return value for create: contains info on the newly-created file, as well as a handle to the opened file.
DirectoryEntry	A directory entry.
FileAttr	File attributes.
FuseMT
RequestInfo	Info about a request.
Statfs	Filesystem statistics.

Enums

FileType	File types
Xattr	Represents the return value from the listxattr and getxattr calls, which can be either a size or contain data, depending on how they are called.

Traits

FilesystemMT

This trait must be implemented to implement a filesystem with FuseMT.

Functions

mount	Mount the given filesystem to the given mountpoint. This function will not return until the filesystem is unmounted.
spawn_mount⚠	Mount the given filesystem to the given mountpoint. This function spawns a background thread to handle filesystem operations while being mounted and therefore returns immediately. The returned handle should be stored to reference the mounted filesystem. If it's dropped, the filesystem will be unmounted.
