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

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::access) (fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, int mask) |
Check file access permissions
This will be called for the access() and chdir() system calls. 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

Copy a range of data from one file to another
Performs an optimized copy between two file descriptors without the additional cost of transferring data through the FUSE kernel module to user space (glibc) and then back into the FUSE filesystem again.
In case this method is not implemented, glibc falls back to reading data from the source and writing to the destination. Effectively doing an inefficient copy of the data.
If this request is answered with an error code of ENOSYS, this is treated as a permanent failure with error code EOPNOTSUPP, i.e. all future copy_file_range() requests will fail with EOPNOTSUPP without being send to the filesystem process.

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::create) (fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t parent, const char *name, mode_t mode, struct fuse_file_info *fi) |
Create and open a file
If the file does not exist, first create it with the specified mode, and then open it.
See the description of the open handler for more information.
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.
If this request is answered with an error code of ENOSYS, the handler is treated as not implemented (i.e., for this and future requests the mknod() and open() handlers will be called instead).

Allocate requested space. If this function returns success then subsequent writes to the specified range shall not fail due to the lack of free space on the file system storage media.
If this request is answered with an error code of ENOSYS, this is treated as a permanent failure with error code EOPNOTSUPP, i.e. all future fallocate() requests will fail with EOPNOTSUPP without being send to the filesystem process.

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::flock) (fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi, int op) |
Acquire, modify or release a BSD file lock
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.

Definition at line 1173 of file fuse_lowlevel.h.
void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::flush) (fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi) |
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.
fi->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 during close. However, such use is non-portable because POSIX does not require close to wait for delayed I/O to complete.
If the filesystem supports file locking operations (setlk, getlk) it should remove all locks belonging to 'fi->owner'.
If this request is answered with an error code of ENOSYS, this is treated as success and future calls to flush() will succeed automatically without being send to the filesystem process.

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::forget) (fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, uint64_t nlookup) |
Forget about an inode
This function is called when the kernel removes an inode from its internal caches.
The inode's lookup count increases by one for every call to fuse_reply_entry and fuse_reply_create. The nlookup parameter indicates by how much the lookup count should be decreased.
Inodes with a non-zero lookup count may receive request from the kernel even after calls to unlink, rmdir or (when overwriting an existing file) rename. Filesystems must handle such requests properly and it is recommended to defer removal of the inode until the lookup count reaches zero. Calls to unlink, rmdir or rename will be followed closely by forget unless the file or directory is open, in which case the kernel issues forget only after the release or releasedir calls.
Note that if a file system will be exported over NFS the inodes lifetime must extend even beyond forget. See the generation field in struct fuse_entry_param above.
On unmount the lookup count for all inodes implicitly drops to zero. It is not guaranteed that the file system will receive corresponding forget messages for the affected inodes.

Open flags are available in fi->flags. The following rules apply.

mount option is given, this check is already done by the kernel before calling open() and may thus be omitted by the filesystem.Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer, index, etc) in fi->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 fi->fh.
There are also some flags (direct_io, keep_cache) which the filesystem may set in fi, to change the way the file is opened. See fuse_file_info structure in <fuse_common.h> for more details.

Read directory
Send a buffer filled using fuse_add_direntry(), with size not exceeding the requested size. Send an empty buffer on end of stream.
fi->fh will contain the value set by the opendir method, or will be undefined if the opendir method didn't set any value.
Returning a directory entry from readdir() does not affect its lookup count.
If off_t is non-zero, then it will correspond to one of the off_t values that was previously returned by readdir() for the same directory handle. In this case, readdir() should skip over entries coming before the position defined by the off_t value. If entries are added or removed while the directory handle is open, the filesystem may still include the entries that have been removed, and may not report the entries that have been created. However, addition or removal of entries must never cause readdir() to skip over unrelated entries or to report them more than once. This means that off_t can not be a simple index that enumerates the entries that have been returned but must contain sufficient information to uniquely determine the next directory entry to return even when the set of entries is changing.
The function does not have to report the '.' and '..' entries, but is allowed to do so. Note that, if readdir does not return '.' or '..', they will not be implicitly returned, and this behavior is observable by the caller.

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::release) (fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi) |
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 (unless the filesystem is force-unmounted).
The filesystem may reply with an error, but error values are not returned to close() or munmap() which triggered the release.
fi->fh will contain the value set by the open method, or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value. fi->flags will contain the same flags as for open.

Rename a file
If the target exists it should be atomically replaced. If the target's inode's lookup count is non-zero, the file system is expected to postpone any removal of the inode until the lookup count reaches zero (see description of the forget function).
If this request is answered with an error code of ENOSYS, this is treated as a permanent failure with error code EINVAL, i.e. all future bmap requests will fail with EINVAL without being send to the filesystem process.
flags may be RENAME_EXCHANGE
or RENAME_NOREPLACE
. If RENAME_NOREPLACE is specified, the filesystem must not overwrite newname if it exists and return an error instead. If RENAME_EXCHANGE
is specified, the filesystem must atomically exchange the two files, i.e. both must exist and neither may be deleted.

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::setattr) (fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct stat *attr, int to_set, struct fuse_file_info *fi) |
Set file attributes
In the 'attr' argument only members indicated by the 'to_set' bitmask contain valid values. Other members contain undefined values.
Unless FUSE_CAP_HANDLE_KILLPRIV is disabled, this method is expected to reset the setuid and setgid bits if the file size or owner is being changed.
This method will not be called to update st_atime or st_ctime implicitly (eg. after a read() request), and only be called to implicitly update st_mtime if writeback caching is active. It is the filesystem's responsibility to update these timestamps when needed, and (if desired) to implement mount options like noatime
or relatime
.
If the setattr was invoked from the ftruncate() system call under Linux kernel versions 2.6.15 or later, the fi->fh will contain the value set by the open method or will be undefined if the open method didn't set any value. Otherwise (not ftruncate call, or kernel version earlier than 2.6.15) the fi parameter will be NULL.

void(* fuse_lowlevel_ops::setlk) (fuse_req_t req, fuse_ino_t ino, struct fuse_file_info *fi, struct flock *lock, int sleep) |
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.

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.

Write data made available in a buffer
This is a more generic version of the ->write() method. If FUSE_CAP_SPLICE_READ is set in fuse_conn_info.want and the kernel supports splicing from the fuse device, then the data will be made available in pipe for supporting zero copy data transfer.
buf->count is guaranteed to be one (and thus buf->idx is always zero). The write_buf handler must ensure that bufv->off is correctly updated (reflecting the number of bytes read from bufv->buf[0]).
Unless FUSE_CAP_HANDLE_KILLPRIV is disabled, this method is expected to reset the setuid and setgid bits.
