.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Em IMPORTANT NOTE!
|
|
This document describes interfaces which are not yet guaranteed to be
|
|
stable.
|
|
In case you update your system sources, please recompile everything
|
|
and fix complation errors.
|
|
If your sources are out-of-sync, incorrect operation may result.
|
|
The interfaces in this document will most likely be hugely simplified
|
|
in later versions or made transparent to the implementation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Em MORE IMPORTANT STUFF!
|
|
It should especially be noted, that it is yet completely unsure, how
|
|
much of the internals contents of
|
|
.Vt struct puffs_node
|
|
will be exposed to file systems in the end.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
|
|
.It Fn puffs_pn_new pu priv
|
|
Create a new node and attach it to the mountpoint
|
|
.Ar pu .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Ar priv
|
|
can be used for associating file system specific data with the new
|
|
node and will not be accessed by puffs.
|
|
.It Fn puffs_nodewalk_fn pu pn arg
|
|
A callback for
|
|
.Fn puffs_nodewalk .
|
|
The list of nodes is iterated in the argument
|
|
.Ar pn
|
|
and the argument
|
|
.Ar arg
|
|
is the argument given to
|
|
.Fn puffs_nodewalk .
|
|
.It Fn puffs_nodewalk pu nwfn arg
|
|
Walk all nodes associted with the mountpoint
|
|
.Ar pu
|
|
and call
|
|
.Fn nwfn
|
|
for them.
|
|
The walk is aborted if
|
|
.Fn puffs_nodewalk_fn
|
|
returns a value which is not
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
This value is also returned this function.
|
|
In case the whole set of nodes is traversed,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
This function is useful for example in handling the
|
|
.Fn puffs_fs_sync
|
|
callback, when cached data for every node should be flushed to stable
|
|
storage.
|
|
.It Fn puffs_pn_remove pn
|
|
Signal that a node has been removed from the file system, but do not
|
|
yet release resources associated with the node.
|
|
This will prevent the nodewalk functions from accessing the node.
|
|
If necessary, this is usually called from
|
|
.Fn puffs_node_remove
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn puffs_node_rmdir .
|
|
.It Fn puffs_pn_put pn
|
|
Free all resources associated with node
|
|
.Ar pn .
|
|
This is typically called from
|
|
.Fn puffs_node_reclaim .
