LIBPERFUSE(2)						      BSD System Calls Manual						     LIBPERFUSE(2)

NAME

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

LIBRARY

     library ``libperfuse''

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 arguments:

     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 success, and causes exit on failure.
