\mainpage FUSE API documentation
Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) is a loadable kernel module for Unix-like computer operating systems that lets non-privileged users create their own file systems without editing kernel code. This is achieved by running file system code in user space while the FUSE module provides only a "bridge" to the actual kernel interfaces.

\section section_todo todo
general:
- fuse_lowlevel.h, describe:
- a channel (or communication channel) is created by fuse_mount(..)
- a fuse session is associated with a channel and a signal handler and runs until the assigned signal handler
shuts the session down, see fuse_session_loop(se) and hello_ll.c
- http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~pfeiffer/fuse-tutorial/
- http://cinwell.wordpress.com/
- http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fuse/index.php?title=FuseProtocolSketch
- http://muratbuffalo.blogspot.de/2011/05/refuse-to-crash-with-re-fuse.html
examples:
- demonstrate the effect of single vs multithreaded -> fuse_loop fuse_loop_mt
- add comments and source form all existing examples
- also add examples form here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fuse/index.php?title=Main_Page#How_should_threads_be_startedx3f
- add this new example: http://fuse.996288.n3.nabble.com/Create-multiple-filesystems-in-same-process-td9292.html
\section section_thanks thanks
- Mark Glines, <mark@glines.org> for his coments on fuse_loop() and fuse_loop_mt().
- Wikipedia - copied the FUSE introduction from the Filesystem in userspace article.
