Data Fields | |
| fuse_ino_t | ino |
| unsigned long | generation |
| struct stat | attr |
| double | attr_timeout |
| double | entry_timeout |
Directory entry parameters supplied to fuse_reply_entry()
| struct stat fuse_entry_param::attr |
Inode attributes.
Even if attr_timeout == 0, attr must be correct. For example, for open(), FUSE uses attr.st_size from lookup() to determine how many bytes to request. If this value is not correct, incorrect data will be returned.
| double fuse_entry_param::attr_timeout |
Validity timeout (in seconds) for the attributes
| double fuse_entry_param::entry_timeout |
Validity timeout (in seconds) for the name
| unsigned long fuse_entry_param::generation |
Generation number for this entry.
If the file system will be exported over NFS, the ino/generation pairs need to be unique over the file system's lifetime (rather than just the mount time). So if the file system reuses an inode after it has been deleted, it must assign a new, previously unused generation number to the inode at the same time.
The generation must be non-zero, otherwise FUSE will treat it as an error.
| fuse_ino_t fuse_entry_param::ino |
Unique inode number
In lookup, zero means negative entry (from version 2.5) Returning ENOENT also means negative entry, but by setting zero ino the kernel may cache negative entries for entry_timeout seconds.
