Multithreaded FUSE bindings for Node JS.
4 years ago
## Features
* N-API support means we ship prebuilds and in general works on new Node.js releases.
* Multithreading support means multiple calls to FUSE can run in parallel.
* Close to feature complete in terms of the the FUSE API.
* Embedded shared library support means users do not have to install FUSE from a 3rd party.
* API support for initial FUSE kernel extension configuration so you can control the user experience.

## Installation
```
npm i fuse-native --save
```
## Example
```js
const ops = {
readdir: function (path, cb) {
if (path === '/') return cb(null, ['test'])
return cb(Fuse.ENOENT)
},
getattr: function (path, cb) {
if (path === '/') return cb(null, stat({ mode: 'dir', size: 4096 }))
if (path === '/test') return cb(null, stat({ mode: 'file', size: 11 }))
return cb(Fuse.ENOENT)
},
open: function (path, flags, cb) {
return cb(0, 42)
},
release: function (path, fd, cb) {
return cb(0)
},
read: function (path, fd, buf, len, pos, cb) {
var str = 'hello world'.slice(pos, pos + len)
if (!str) return cb(0)
buf.write(str)
return cb(str.length)
}
}
const fuse = new Fuse(mnt, ops, { debug: true })
fuse.mount(function (err) {
fs.readFile(path.join(mnt, 'test'), function (err, buf) {
// buf should be 'hello world'
})
})
```

## API
4 years ago
In order to create a FUSE mountpoint, you first need to create a `Fuse` object that wraps a set of implemented FUSE syscall handlers:
#### `const fuse = new Fuse(mnt, handlers, opts = {})`
Create a new `Fuse` object.
`mnt` is the string path of your desired mountpoint.

`handlers` is an object mapping syscall names to implementations. The complete list of available syscalls is described below. As an example, if you wanted to implement a filesystem that only supports `getattr`, your handle object would look like:
```js
{
getattr: function (path, cb) {
if (path === '/') return process.nextTick(cb, null, stat({ mode: 'dir', size: 4096 }))
if (path === '/test') return process.nextTick(cb, null, stat({ mode: 'file', size: 11 }))
return process.nextTick(cb, Fuse.ENOENT)
}
}
```
4 years ago
`opts` can be include:
```
displayFolder: 'Folder Name', // Add a name/icon to the mount volume on OSX,
debug: false, // Enable detailed tracing of operations.
force: false, // Attempt to unmount a the mountpoint before remounting.
mkdir: false // Create the mountpoint before mounting.

```
Additionally, all (FUSE-specific options)[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/mount.fuse.8.html] will be passed to the underlying FUSE module (though we use camel casing instead of snake casing).

#### `Fuse.isConfigured(cb)`
Returns `true` if FUSE has been configured on your machine and ready to be used, `false` otherwise.
#### `Fuse.configure(cb)`
Configures FUSE on your machine by enabling the FUSE kernel extension.
You usually want to do this as part of an installation phase for your app.
Might require `sudo` access.
#### `Fuse.unconfigure(cb)`
Unconfigures FUSE on your machine. Basically undos any change the above
method does.

### FUSE API
4 years ago
Most of the [FUSE api](http://fuse.sourceforge.net/doxygen/structfuse__operations.html) is supported. In general the callback for each op should be called with `cb(returnCode, [value])` where the return code is a number (`0` for OK and `< 0` for errors). See below for a list of POSIX error codes.
4 years ago
4 years ago
#### `ops.init(cb)`
Called on filesystem init.
#### `ops.access(path, mode, cb)`
Called before the filesystem accessed a file
#### `ops.statfs(path, cb)`
Called when the filesystem is being stat'ed. Accepts a fs stat object after the return code in the callback.
``` js
ops.statfs = function (path, cb) {
cb(0, {
bsize: 1000000,
frsize: 1000000,
blocks: 1000000,
bfree: 1000000,
bavail: 1000000,
files: 1000000,
ffree: 1000000,
favail: 1000000,
fsid: 1000000,
flag: 1000000,
namemax: 1000000
})
}
```
#### `ops.getattr(path, cb)`
Called when a path is being stat'ed. Accepts a stat object (similar to the one returned in `fs.stat(path, cb)`) after the return code in the callback.
``` js
ops.getattr = function (path, cb) {
cb(0, {
mtime: new Date(),
atime: new Date(),
ctime: new Date(),
size: 100,
mode: 16877,
uid: process.getuid(),
gid: process.getgid()
})
}
```
#### `ops.fgetattr(path, fd, cb)`
Same as above but is called when someone stats a file descriptor
#### `ops.flush(path, fd, cb)`
Called when a file descriptor is being flushed
#### `ops.fsync(path, fd, datasync, cb)`
Called when a file descriptor is being fsync'ed.
#### `ops.fsyncdir(path, fd, datasync, cb)`
Same as above but on a directory
#### `ops.readdir(path, cb)`
Called when a directory is being listed. Accepts an array of file/directory names after the return code in the callback
``` js
ops.readdir = function (path, cb) {
cb(0, ['file-1.txt', 'dir'])
}
```
#### `ops.truncate(path, size, cb)`
Called when a path is being truncated to a specific size
#### `ops.ftruncate(path, fd, size, cb)`
Same as above but on a file descriptor
#### `ops.readlink(path, cb)`
Called when a symlink is being resolved. Accepts a pathname (that the link should resolve to) after the return code in the callback
``` js
ops.readlink = function (path, cb) {
cb(null, 'file.txt') // make link point to file.txt
}
```
#### `ops.chown(path, uid, gid, cb)`
Called when ownership of a path is being changed
#### `ops.chmod(path, mode, cb)`
Called when the mode of a path is being changed
#### `ops.mknod(path, mode, dev, cb)`
Called when the a new device file is being made.
#### `ops.setxattr(path, name, value, position, flags, cb)`
4 years ago
Called when extended attributes is being set (see the extended docs for your platform).
Copy the `value` buffer somewhere to store it.
The position argument is mostly a legacy argument only used on MacOS but see the getxattr docs
on Mac for more on that (you probably don't need to use that).
#### `ops.getxattr(path, name, position, cb)`
4 years ago
Called when extended attributes is being read.
Return the extended attribute as the second argument to the callback (needs to be a buffer).
If no attribute is stored return `null` as the second argument.
The position argument is mostly a legacy argument only used on MacOS but see the getxattr docs
on Mac for more on that (you probably don't need to use that).
#### `ops.listxattr(path, cb)`
4 years ago
Called when extended attributes of a path are being listed.
Return a list of strings of the names of the attributes you have stored as the second argument to the callback.
4 years ago
#### `ops.removexattr(path, name, cb)`
Called when an extended attribute is being removed.
#### `ops.open(path, flags, cb)`
Called when a path is being opened. `flags` in a number containing the permissions being requested. Accepts a file descriptor after the return code in the callback.
``` js
var toFlag = function(flags) {
flags = flags & 3
if (flags === 0) return 'r'
if (flags === 1) return 'w'
return 'r+'
}
ops.open = function (path, flags, cb) {
var flag = toFlag(flags) // convert flags to a node style string
...
cb(0, 42) // 42 is a file descriptor
}
```
#### `ops.opendir(path, flags, cb)`
Same as above but for directories
#### `ops.read(path, fd, buffer, length, position, cb)`
Called when contents of a file is being read. You should write the result of the read to the `buffer` and return the number of bytes written as the first argument in the callback.
If no bytes were written (read is complete) return 0 in the callback.
``` js
var data = new Buffer('hello world')
ops.read = function (path, fd, buffer, length, position, cb) {
if (position >= data.length) return cb(0) // done
var part = data.slice(position, position + length)
part.copy(buffer) // write the result of the read to the result buffer
cb(part.length) // return the number of bytes read
}
```
#### `ops.write(path, fd, buffer, length, position, cb)`
Called when a file is being written to. You can get the data being written in `buffer` and you should return the number of bytes written in the callback as the first argument.
``` js
ops.write = function (path, fd, buffer, length, position, cb) {
console.log('writing', buffer.slice(0, length))
cb(length) // we handled all the data
}
```
#### `ops.release(path, fd, cb)`
Called when a file descriptor is being released. Happens when a read/write is done etc.
#### `ops.releasedir(path, fd, cb)`
Same as above but for directories
#### `ops.create(path, mode, cb)`

## CLI
There is a CLI tool available to help you configure the FUSE kernel extension setup
if you don't want to use the JavaScript API for that
```
npm install -g fuse-native
fuse-native is-configured # checks if the kernel extension is already configured
fuse-native configure # configures the kernel extension
```
