65 * Generation number for this entry.
67 * If the file system will be exported over NFS, the
68 * ino/generation pairs need to be unique over the file
69 * system's lifetime (rather than just the mount time). So if
70 * the file system reuses an inode after it has been deleted,
71 * it must assign a new, previously unused generation number
72 * to the inode at the same time.
80 * Even if attr_timeout == 0, attr must be correct. For example,
81 * for open(), FUSE uses attr.st_size from lookup() to determine
82 * how many bytes to request. If this value is not correct,
83 * incorrect data will be returned.
88 * Validity timeout (in seconds) for inode attributes. If
89 * attributes only change as a result of requests that come
90 * through the kernel, this should be set to a very large
96 * Validity timeout (in seconds) for the name. If directory
97 * entries are changed/deleted only as a result of requests
98 * that come through the kernel, this should be set to a very
101 double entry_timeout

149 * Request methods and replies
153 * Low level filesystem operations
155 * Most of the methods (with the exception of init and destroy)
156 * receive a request handle (fuse_req_t) as their first argument.
157 * This handle must be passed to one of the specified reply functions.
159 * This may be done inside the method invocation, or after the call
160 * has returned. The request handle is valid until one of the reply
161 * functions is called.
163 * Other pointer arguments (name, fuse_file_info, etc) are not valid
164 * after the call has returned, so if they are needed later, their
165 * contents have to be copied.
167 * In general, all methods are expected to perform any necessary
168 * permission checking. However, a filesystem may delegate this task
169 * to the kernel by passing the `default_permissions` mount option to
170 * `fuse_session_new()`. In this case, methods will only be called if
171 * the kernel's permission check has succeeded.
173 * The filesystem sometimes needs to handle a return value of -ENOENT
174 * from the reply function, which means, that the request was
175 * interrupted, and the reply discarded. For example if
176 * fuse_reply_open() return -ENOENT means, that the release method for
177 * this file will not be called.

225 * Forget about an inode
227 * This function is called when the kernel removes an inode
228 * from its internal caches.
230 * The inode's lookup count increases by one for every call to
231 * fuse_reply_entry and fuse_reply_create. The nlookup parameter
232 * indicates by how much the lookup count should be decreased.
234 * Inodes with a non-zero lookup count may receive request from
235 * the kernel even after calls to unlink, rmdir or (when
236 * overwriting an existing file) rename. Filesystems must handle
237 * such requests properly and it is recommended to defer removal
238 * of the inode until the lookup count reaches zero. Calls to
239 * unlink, rmdir or rename will be followed closely by forget
240 * unless the file or directory is open, in which case the
241 * kernel issues forget only after the release or releasedir

245 * inodes lifetime must extend even beyond forget. See the
246 * generation field in struct fuse_entry_param above.

470 * option is given, this check is already done by the

474 * - When writeback caching is enabled, the kernel may send
475 * read requests even for files opened with O_WRONLY. The
476 * filesystem should be prepared to handle this.
478 * - When writeback caching is disabled, the filesystem is
479 * expected to properly handle the O_APPEND flag and ensure
480 * that each write is appending to the end of the file.
482 * - When writeback caching is enabled, the kernel will
483 * handle O_APPEND. However, unless all changes to the file
484 * come through the kernel this will not work reliably. The
485 * filesystem should thus either ignore the O_APPEND flag
486 * (and let the kernel handle it), or return an error
487 * (indicating that reliably O_APPEND is not available).
489 * Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer,

1857 * way to distinguish between these two conditions is to check if the
1858 * filesystem is still mounted after the session loop returns.

1899 * Ensure that file system is unmounted.
1901 * In regular operation, the file system is typically unmounted by the
1902 * user calling umount(8) or fusermount(1), which then terminates the
1903 * FUSE session loop. However, the session loop may also terminate as
1904 * a result of an explicit call to fuse_session_exit() (e.g. by a
1905 * signal handler installed by fuse_set_signal_handler()). In this
1906 * case the filesystem remains mounted, but any attempt to access it
1907 * will block (while the filesystem process is still running) or give
1908 * an ESHUTDOWN error (after the filesystem process has terminated).
1910 * If the communication channel with the FUSE kernel module is still
1911 * open (i.e., if the session loop was terminated by an explicit call
1912 * to fuse_session_exit()), this function will close it and unmount
1913 * the filesystem. If the communication channel has been closed by the
1914 * kernel, this method will do (almost) nothing.
1916 * NOTE: The above semantics mean that if the connection to the kernel
1917 * is terminated via the ``/sys/fs/fuse/connections/NNN/abort`` file,
1918 * this method will *not* unmount the filesystem.
