Field Documentation

fuse_ino_t fuse_entry_param::ino

Unique inode number

In lookup, zero means negative entry (from version 2.5) Returning ENOENT also means negative entry, but by setting zero ino the kernel may cache negative entries for entry_timeout seconds.

unsigned long fuse_entry_param::generation

Generation number for this entry.

The ino/generation pair should be unique for the filesystem's lifetime. It must be non-zero, otherwise FUSE will treat it as an error.

struct stat fuse_entry_param::attr [read]

Inode attributes.

Even if attr_timeout == 0, attr must be correct. For example, for open(), FUSE uses attr.st_size from lookup() to determine how many bytes to request. If this value is not correct, incorrect data will be returned.

double fuse_entry_param::attr_timeout

Validity timeout (in seconds) for the attributes

double fuse_entry_param::entry_timeout

Validity timeout (in seconds) for the name
