NAME
fuse_loop,
fuse_loop_mt —
wait for and process FUSE
messages
SYNOPSIS
/* -lfuse */
#include <fuse.h>
int
fuse_loop(struct
fuse *fuse);
int
fuse_loop_mt(struct
fuse *fuse);
DESCRIPTION
fuse_loop()
reads from the FUSE device and blocks, waiting for the kernel to send it
fbuf messages. Each of these specifies a FUSE file system operation to
execute. The callbacks to invoke are specified by calling
fuse_new(3) or
fuse_setup(3) prior to calling
fuse_loop().
fuse_loop()
returns when it reads the FBT_DESTROY message, which
indicates that the file system is being unmounted.
If FUSE signal handlers have been installed and
SIGHUP, SIGINT, or
SIGTERM is received,
fuse_loop()
terminates successfully. See
fuse_set_signal_handlers(3) for more details.
fuse_loop_mt()
is a multi-threaded variant that allows the file system to process multiple
file system operations in parallel. This is not implemented on
OpenBSD.
RETURN VALUES
fuse_loop() returns 0 on success or -1 on
failure.
fuse_loop_mt() always returns -1.
SEE ALSO
STANDARDS
The fuse_loop() and
fuse_loop_mt() functions conform to FUSE 2.6.
HISTORY
The fuse_loop() and
fuse_loop_mt() functions first appeared in
OpenBSD 5.4.
