19.Dt FUSE_MAIN 3
20.Os
21.Sh NAME
22.Nm fuse_main
23.Nd FUSE helper function
24.Sh SYNOPSIS
25.In fuse.h
26.Ft int
27.Fn fuse_main "int argc" "char **argv" "const struct fuse_operations *ops" \
28    "void *data"
29.Sh DESCRIPTION
30There are two ways of implementing a FUSE filesystem:
31by calling only
32.Fn fuse_main
33and passing this function the
34.Em ops
35argument containing all the callbacks of the filesystem,
36or by using the other functions,
37as detailed in
38.Xr fuse_loop 3
39.Pp
40.Fa argv
41is the list of arguments supplied to the program's main method and
42must at a minimum specify the directory on which the file system is to
43be mounted.
44The other arguments can be custom arguments specific to the
45file system or those supported by
46.Xr fuse_parse_cmdline 3 ,
47.Xr fuse_new 3
48and
49.Xr fuse_mount 3 .
50.Sh EXAMPLES
51Here is a simple example of a FUSE implementation:
