Fields

• fuseGetattr :: Maybe (FilePath -> Maybe fh -> IO (Either Errno FileStat))

  Implements getSymbolicLinkStatus operation (POSIX lstat(2)).

  fh will always be Nothing if the file is not currently open, but may also be Nothing even if it is open.

• fuseReadlink :: Maybe (FilePath -> IO (Either Errno FilePath))

  Implements readSymbolicLink operation (POSIX readlink(2)).

  This function should not append a terminating NUL byte. The returned FilePath might be truncated depending on caller buffer size.

• fuseMknod :: Maybe (FilePath -> FileMode -> DeviceID -> IO Errno)

  Implements createDevice (POSIX mknod(2)).

  This function will also be called for regular file creation if fuseCreate is not defined.

  fileModeToEntryType is handy to pattern match on the request type of the node.

• fuseMkdir :: Maybe (FilePath -> FileMode -> IO Errno)

  Implements createDirectory (POSIX mkdir(2)).

• fuseUnlink :: Maybe (FilePath -> IO Errno)

  Implements removeLink (POSIX unlink(2)).

• fuseRmdir :: Maybe (FilePath -> IO Errno)

  Implements removeDirectory (POSIX rmdir(2)).

• fuseSymlink :: Maybe (FilePath -> FilePath -> IO Errno)

  Implements createSymbolicLink (POSIX symlink(2)).

• fuseRename :: Maybe (FilePath -> FilePath -> IO Errno)

  Implements rename (POSIX rename(2)).

• fuseLink :: Maybe (FilePath -> FilePath -> IO Errno)

  Implements createLink (POSIX link(2)).

• fuseChmod :: Maybe (FilePath -> Maybe fh -> FileMode -> IO Errno)

  Implements setFileMode (POSIX chmod(2)).

  fh will always be Nothing if the file is not currently open, but may also be Nothing even if it is open.

• fuseChown :: Maybe (FilePath -> Maybe fh -> UserID -> GroupID -> IO Errno)

  Implements setOwnerAndGroup (POSIX chown(2)).

  fh will always be Nothing if the file is not currently open, but may also be Nothing even if it is open.

  Unless FUSE_CAP_HANDLE_KILLPRIV is disabled, this method is expected to reset the setuid and setgid bits.

• fuseTruncate :: Maybe (FilePath -> Maybe fh -> FileOffset -> IO Errno)

  Implements setFileSize (POSIX truncate(2)).

  fh will always be Nothing if the file is not currently open, but may also be Nothing even if it is open.

  Unless FUSE_CAP_HANDLE_KILLPRIV is disabled, this method is expected to reset the setuid and setgid bits.

• fuseOpen :: Maybe (FilePath -> OpenMode -> OpenFileFlags -> IO (Either Errno fh))

  Implements openFd (POSIX open(2)). On success, returns Right of a filehandle-like value that will be passed to future file operations; on failure, returns Left of the appropriate Errno.

  • Creation flags will be filtered out / handled by the kernel.
  • Access modes should be used by this to check if the operation is permitted.
  • The filesystem is expected to properly handle the O_APPEND flag and ensure that each write is appending to the end of the file.
  • If this method returns Left eNOSYS and FUSE_CAP_NO_OPEN_SUPPORT is set in fuse_conn_info.capable, this is treated as success and future calls to open will also succeed without being sent to the filesystem process.

  TODO allow this method to set fuse_file_info.direct_io and fuse_file_info.keep_cache

• fuseRead :: Maybe (FilePath -> fh -> ByteCount -> FileOffset -> IO (Either Errno ByteString))

  Implements Unix98 pread(2).

  It differs from fdRead by the explicit FileOffset argument.

• fuseWrite :: Maybe (FilePath -> fh -> ByteString -> FileOffset -> IO (Either Errno CInt))

  Implements Unix98 pwrite(2).

  It differs from fdWrite by the explicit FileOffset argument.

  Unless FUSE_CAP_HANDLE_KILLPRIV is disabled, this method is expected to reset the setuid and setgid bits.

• fuseStatfs :: Maybe (String -> IO (Either Errno FileSystemStats))

  Implements statfs(2).

• fuseFlush :: Maybe (FilePath -> fh -> IO Errno)

  Called when close(2) has been called on an open file.

  Note: this does not mean that the file is released. This function may be called more than once for each open(2). The return value is passed on to the close(2) system call.

• fuseRelease :: Maybe (FilePath -> fh -> IO ())

  Called when an open file has all file descriptors closed and all memory mappings unmapped.

  For every open call there will be exactly one release call with the same flags. It is possible to have a file opened more than once, in which case only the last release will mean that no more reads or writes will happen on the file.

• fuseFsync :: Maybe (FilePath -> fh -> SyncType -> IO Errno)

  Implements fsync(2).

• fuseSetxattr :: Maybe (FilePath -> String -> ByteString -> SetxattrFlag -> IO Errno)

  Implements setxattr(2).

  The parameters are: path, name, value and flags.

• fuseGetxattr :: Maybe (FilePath -> String -> IO (Either Errno ByteString))

  Implements getxattr(2).

  The parameters are path and name.

• fuseListxattr :: Maybe (FilePath -> IO (Either Errno [String]))

  Implements listxattr(2).

• fuseRemovexattr :: Maybe (FilePath -> String -> IO Errno)

  Implements removexattr(2).

• fuseOpendir :: Maybe (FilePath -> IO (Either Errno dh))

  Implements opendir(3).

  This method should check if the open operation is permitted for this directory.

• fuseReaddir :: Maybe (FilePath -> dh -> IO (Either Errno [(String, Maybe FileStat)]))

  Implements readdir(3).

  The entire contents of the directory should be returned as a list of tuples (corresponding to the first mode of operation documented in fuse.h).

  The returned list should contain entries of "." and "..".

  Each element of the list is a pair of the name and the stat. The name should not include the path to it. The implementation may return Nothing as the stat; in this case fuseGetattr is called instead.

• fuseReleasedir :: Maybe (FilePath -> dh -> IO Errno)

  Implements closedir(3).

• fuseFsyncdir :: Maybe (FilePath -> dh -> SyncType -> IO Errno)

  Synchronize the directory's contents; analogous to fuseFsync.

• fuseInit :: Maybe (FuseConfig -> IO FuseConfig)

  Initializes the filesystem. This is called before all other operations.

  The filesystem may modify FuseConfig to configure the API.

• fuseDestroy :: Maybe (IO ())

  Called on filesystem exit to allow cleanup.

• fuseAccess :: Maybe (FilePath -> AccessMode -> IO Errno)

  Implements fileAccess and 'System.Posix.Files.fileExist (POSIX access(2)).

  Checks file access permissions as requested by an AccessMode.

  If the default_permissions mount option is given, this method is not called. This method is also not called under Linux kernel versions 2.4.x

  TODO add notes about default_permissions to other relevant handlers

• fuseCreate :: Maybe (FilePath -> OpenMode -> FileMode -> OpenFileFlags -> IO (Either Errno fh))

  Implements openFd (POSIX open(2)). Creates and opens a regular file.

  If this is not implemented, fuseMknod and fuseOpen methods will be called instead.

  See fuseOpen for notes on the flags.

• fuseUtimens :: Maybe (FilePath -> Maybe fh -> TimeSpec -> TimeSpec -> IO Errno)

  Implements utimensat(2).

  Changes the access and modification times of a file with nanosecond resolution.

  fh will always be Nothing if the file is not currently open, but may also be Nothing even if it is open.

• fuseFallocate :: Maybe (FilePath -> fh -> CInt -> FileOffset -> FileOffset -> IO Errno)

  Implements fileAllocate (posix_fallocate(3)). Allocates space for an open file.

• fuseCopyFileRange :: Maybe (FilePath -> fh -> FileOffset -> FilePath -> fh -> FileOffset -> ByteCount -> CInt -> IO (Either Errno CSsize))

  Implements copy_file_range(2).

• fuseLseek :: Maybe (FilePath -> fh -> FileOffset -> SeekMode -> IO (Either Errno FileOffset))

  Implements fdSeek lseek(3).

  Note: This is silently ignored if libfuse doesn't support lseek operation (requires libfuse-3.8.0).
