This option is obsolete and should always be enabled. File systems that
want to limit the size of write requests should use the
``-o max_write=<N>`` option instead.
Help and version messages can be generated using the new
fuse_lowlevel_help(), fuse_lowlevel_version(), fuse_mount_help(), and
fuse_mount_version() functions.
The fuse_parse_cmdline() function has been made more powerful
to do this automatically, and is now explicitly intended only
for low-level API users.
This is a code simplication patch. We don't have to parse for --help and
--version in quite as many places, and we no longer have a low-level
initialization function be responsible for the (super-high level) task
of printing a program usage message.
In the high-level API, we can now handle the command line parsing
earlier and avoid running other initialization code if we're just going
to abort later on.
The only struct fuse_chan that's accessible to the user application is
the "master" channel that is returned by fuse_mount and stored in struct
fuse_session.
When using the multi-threaded main loop with the "clone_fd" option, each
worker thread gets its own struct fuse_chan. However, none of these are
available to the user application, nor do they hold references to struct
fuse_session (the pointer is always null).
Therefore, any presence of struct fuse_chan can be removed
without loss of functionality by relying on struct fuse_session instead.
This reduces the number of API functions and removes a potential source
of confusion (since the new API no longer looks as if it might be
possible to add multiple channels to one session, or to share one
channel between multiple sessions).
Fixes issue #17.
The only struct fuse_chan that's available to the user application is
the one that is returned by fuse_mount. However, this is also
permanently available from struct fuse_session.
A later patch will therefore remove struct fuse_chan from the
public API completely. This patch prepares for this by changing the
fuse_lowlevel_notify_* functions to take a struct fuse_session
parameter instead of a struct fuse_chan parameter.
