 * This may be done inside the method invocation, or after the call

 *
 * Other pointer arguments (name, fuse_file_info, etc) are not valid
 * after the call has returned, so if they are needed later, their
 * contents have to be copied.
 *
 * In general, all methods are expected to perform any necessary
 * permission checking. However, a filesystem may delegate this task
 * to the kernel by passing the `default_permissions` mount option to
 * `fuse_session_new()`. In this case, methods will only be called if
 * the kernel's permission check has succeeded.
 *
 * The filesystem sometimes needs to handle a return value of -ENOENT
 * from the reply function, which means, that the request was
 * interrupted, and the reply discarded.  For example if
 * fuse_reply_open() return -ENOENT means, that the release method for

     *    read requests even for files opened with O_WRONLY. The

     *    that each write is appending to the end of the file.
