Struct netfuse::NetFuse [] [src]

pub struct NetFuse<NFS: NetworkFilesystem> { /* fields omitted */ }

Low-level FUSE implementation that is backed by an implementation of NetworkFilesystem

The NetFuse implementation manages the the inode store, including a mapping between inode number and path. It also provides a data cache, and the abstraction that manages read/write offsets and lengths, as well as lazy persistence.

impl<NFS: NetworkFilesystem> Filesystem for NetFuse<NFS>
[src]

Initialize filesystem Called before any other filesystem method. Read more

Look up a directory entry by name and get its attributes.

Get file attributes

Read data Read should send exactly the number of bytes requested except on EOF or error, otherwise the rest of the data will be substituted with zeroes. An exception to this is when the file has been opened in 'direct_io' mode, in which case the return value of the read system call will reflect the return value of this operation. fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value. Read more

Read directory Send a buffer filled using buffer.fill(), with size not exceeding the requested size. Send an empty buffer on end of stream. fh will contain the value set by the opendir method, or will be undefined if the opendir method didn't set any value. Read more

Create file node Create a regular file, character device, block device, fifo or socket node. Read more

Create a directory

Open a file Open flags (with the exception of O_CREAT, O_EXCL, O_NOCTTY and O_TRUNC) are available in flags. Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer, index, etc) in fh, and use this in other all other file operations (read, write, flush, release, fsync). Filesystem may also implement stateless file I/O and not store anything in fh. There are also some flags (direct_io, keep_cache) which the filesystem may set, to change the way the file is opened. See fuse_file_info structure in for more details. Read more

Release an open file Release is called when there are no more references to an open file: all file descriptors are closed and all memory mappings are unmapped. For every open call there will be exactly one release call. The filesystem may reply with an error, but error values are not returned to close() or munmap() which triggered the release. fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value. flags will contain the same flags as for open. Read more

Synchronize file contents If the datasync parameter is non-zero, then only the user data should be flushed, not the meta data. Read more

Write data Write should return exactly the number of bytes requested except on error. An exception to this is when the file has been opened in 'direct_io' mode, in which case the return value of the write system call will reflect the return value of this operation. fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value.

Set file attributes

Remove a directory

Remove a file

Clean up filesystem Called on filesystem exit. Read more

Forget about an inode The nlookup parameter indicates the number of lookups previously performed on this inode. If the filesystem implements inode lifetimes, it is recommended that inodes acquire a single reference on each lookup, and lose nlookup references on each forget. The filesystem may ignore forget calls, if the inodes don't need to have a limited lifetime. On unmount it is not guaranteed, that all referenced inodes will receive a forget message. Read more

Read symbolic link

Create a symbolic link

Rename a file

Create a hard link

Flush method This is called on each close() of the opened file. Since file descriptors can be duplicated (dup, dup2, fork), for one open call there may be many flush calls. Filesystems shouldn't assume that flush will always be called after some writes, or that if will be called at all. fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value. NOTE: the name of the method is misleading, since (unlike fsync) the filesystem is not forced to flush pending writes. One reason to flush data, is if the filesystem wants to return write errors. If the filesystem supports file locking operations (setlk, getlk) it should remove all locks belonging to 'lock_owner'. Read more

Open a directory Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer, index, etc) in fh, and use this in other all other directory stream operations (readdir, releasedir, fsyncdir). Filesystem may also implement stateless directory I/O and not store anything in fh, though that makes it impossible to implement standard conforming directory stream operations in case the contents of the directory can change between opendir and releasedir. Read more

Release an open directory For every opendir call there will be exactly one releasedir call. fh will contain the value set by the opendir method, or will be undefined if the opendir method didn't set any value. Read more

Synchronize directory contents If the datasync parameter is set, then only the directory contents should be flushed, not the meta data. fh will contain the value set by the opendir method, or will be undefined if the opendir method didn't set any value. Read more

Get file system statistics

Set an extended attribute

Get an extended attribute

List extended attribute names

Remove an extended attribute

Check file access permissions This will be called for the access() system call. If the 'default_permissions' mount option is given, this method is not called. This method is not called under Linux kernel versions 2.4.x Read more

Create and open a file If the file does not exist, first create it with the specified mode, and then open it. Open flags (with the exception of O_NOCTTY) are available in flags. Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer, index, etc) in fh, and use this in other all other file operations (read, write, flush, release, fsync). There are also some flags (direct_io, keep_cache) which the filesystem may set, to change the way the file is opened. See fuse_file_info structure in for more details. If this method is not implemented or under Linux kernel versions earlier than 2.6.15, the mknod() and open() methods will be called instead. Read more

Test for a POSIX file lock

Acquire, modify or release a POSIX file lock For POSIX threads (NPTL) there's a 1-1 relation between pid and owner, but otherwise this is not always the case. For checking lock ownership, 'fi->owner' must be used. The l_pid field in 'struct flock' should only be used to fill in this field in getlk(). Note: if the locking methods are not implemented, the kernel will still allow file locking to work locally. Hence these are only interesting for network filesystems and similar. Read more

Map block index within file to block index within device Note: This makes sense only for block device backed filesystems mounted with the 'blkdev' option Read more
