LIBPERFUSE(2)             NetBSD System Calls Manual             LIBPERFUSE(2)

NAME
     perfuse_mount, perfuse_open -- Request a puffs(3) mount from perfused(8)

LIBRARY
     PUFFS enabled relay to FUSE Library (libperfuse, -lperfuse)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <perfuse.h>

     int
     perfuse_mount(const char *source, const char *dir,
         const char *filesystemtype, long int mountflags, void *data);

     int
     perfuse_open(const char *path, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
     perfuse_mount() sends a mount request to perfused(8).  It is intended as
     a drop-in replacement for mount(2) for FUSE file systems daemons and
     libraries, so that they can work with perfused(8).

     The function prototype mimics Linux's mount(2), with the following argu-
     ments:

     source  The source file system that will appear in df(1) and mount(8)
             listings.  Defaults to /dev/fuse if NULL.

     dir     The file system mount point.

     filesystemtype
             The file system type, as displayed by df(1) and mount(8).
             Defaults to ``fuse'' if NULL.

     mountflags
             This contains the same value as a mount(2) flags argument.

     data    This contains the same value as a mount(2) data argument.

     perfuse_open() is a drop-in replacement for the open(2) system call where
     /dev/fuse is used.  If path is different than /dev/fuse, perfuse_open()
     handles control to the regular open(2).

RETURN VALUES
     perfuse_mount() returns a file descriptor to the /dev/fuse socket on suc-
     cess, and causes exit on failure.
