FUSE_LOOP(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual FUSE_LOOP(3)
NAME
fuse_loop, fuse_loop_mt - wait for and process FUSE messages
SYNOPSIS
#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() will return when it reads the FBT_DESTROY message, which
indicates that the file system is being unmounted.
If FUSE signaler handlers have been installed and either SIGHUP, SIGINT
or SIGTERM is received then fuse_loop() will attempt to unmount the file
system. See fuse_set_signal_handlers(3).
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() will return 0 on success and -1 on failure.
fuse_loop_mt() always returns -1.

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.
