fuse-native

Multithreaded FUSE bindings for Node JS.

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

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

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:

{
  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)
  }
}

The following FUSE API methods are supported:
