threads::shared.)
-=back

This flag tells Fuse to not pass paths for functions that operate on file

file/directory handles from open, opendir and create. Default is 0 (off).
Only effective on Fuse 2.8 and up; with earlier versions, this does nothing.
+=item utimens_as_array => boolean
+
+This flag causes timestamps passed via the utimens() call to be passed
+as arrays containing the time in seconds, and a second value containing
+the number of nanoseconds, instead of a floating point value. This allows
+for more precise times, as the normal floating point type used by Perl
+(double) loses accuracy starting at about tenths of a microsecond.

+Only available if the Fuse module is built against libfuse 2.8 or later.
+Use fuse_version() to determine if this is the case. Calling this function
+with a pollhandle argument (as provided to the C<poll> operation

=head2 FUNCTIONS YOUR FILESYSTEM MAY IMPLEMENT
=head3 getattr
Arguments: filename.
+
Returns a list, very similar to the 'stat' function (see
perlfunc). On error, simply return a single numeric scalar
value (e.g. "return -ENOENT();").
(The epoch was at 00:00 January 1, 1970 GMT.)
+If you wish to provide sub-second precision timestamps, they may be
+passed either as the fractional part of a floating-point value, or as a
+two-element array, passed as an array ref, with the first element
+containing the number of seconds since the epoch, and the second
+containing the number of nanoseconds. This provides complete time
+precision, as a floating point number starts losing precision at about
+a tenth of a microsecond. So if you really care about that sort of thing...
+
=head3 readlink
Arguments: link pathname.
+
Returns a scalar: either a numeric constant, or a text string.
This is called when dereferencing symbolic links, to learn the target.
=head3 getdir
Arguments: Containing directory name.

and O_SYNC, constants you can import from POSIX), fileinfo hash reference.
+
Returns an errno, a file handle (optional).
-No creation, or trunctation flags (O_CREAT, O_EXCL, O_TRUNC) will be passed to open().
+No creation, or truncation flags (O_CREAT, O_EXCL, O_TRUNC) will be passed to open().
The fileinfo hash reference contains flags from the Fuse open call which may be modified by the module. The only fields presently supported are:
direct_io (version 2.4 onwards)
keep_cache (version 2.4 onwards)
- nonseekable (version 2.9 onwards)
+ nonseekable (version 2.8 onwards)

=head3 utimens

+
Returns errno or 0 on success
-Like utime(), but allows time resolution down to the nanosecond. Currently
-times are passed as "numeric" (internally I believe these are represented
-typically as "long double"), so the sub-second portion is represented as
-fractions of a second.
+Like utime(), but allows time resolution down to the nanosecond. By default,
+times are passed as "numeric" (internally these are typically represented
+as "double"), so the sub-second portion is represented as fractions of a
+second. If you want times passed as arrays instead of floating point
+values, for higher precision, you should pass the C<utimens_as_array> option
+to C<Fuse::main>.
Note that if this call is implemented, it overrides utime() ALWAYS.
=head3 bmap
Arguments: Pathname, numeric blocksize, numeric block number
+
Returns errno or 0 on success, and physical block number if successful
Used to map a block number offset in a file to the physical block offset
filesystems that are stored on an actual block device, with the 'blkdev'
option passed.
+=head3 ioctl
+
+Arguments: Pathname, ioctl command code, flags, data if ioctl op is a write, (optional) file handle
+
+Returns errno or 0 on success, and data if ioctl op is a read
+
+Used to handle ioctl() operations on files. See ioctl(2) for more
+information on the fine details of ioctl operation numbers. May need to
+h2ph system headers to get the necessary macros; keep in mind the macros
+are highly OS-dependent.
+
+Keep in mind that read and write are from the client perspective, so
+read from our end means data is going *out*, and write means data is
+coming *in*. It can be slightly confusing.
+
+=head3 poll
+
+Arguments: Pathname, poll handle ID (or undef if none), event mask, (optional) file handle
+
+Returns errno or 0 on success, and updated event mask on success
+
+Used to handle poll() operations on files. See poll(2) to learn more about
+event polling. Use IO::Poll to get the POLLIN, POLLOUT, and other symbols
+to describe the events which can happen on the filehandle. Save the poll
+handle ID to be passed to C<notify_poll> and C<pollhandle_destroy>
+functions, if it is not undef. Threading will likely be necessary for this
+operation to work.
+
+There is not an "out of band" data transfer channel provided as part of
+FUSE, so POLLPRI/POLLRDBAND/POLLWRBAND won't work.
+
+Poll handle is currently a read-only scalar; we are investigating a way
+to make this an object instead.
