NAME

       chirp_fuse - create a FUSE mount point with virtual access to remote chirp servers

SYNOPSIS

       chirp_fuse [options] <mount path>

DESCRIPTION

       You  can  attach  to  a  Chirp  filesystems by using the FUSE package to attach Chirp as a
       kernel filesystem module. Unlike parrot(1), this requires superuser privileges to  install
       the  FUSE  package,  but will likely work more reliably on a larger number of programs and
       environments. Using FUSE allows for transparent access to a Chirp  server  via  the  local
       filesystem. This allows user applications to use a Chirp store unmodified.

       Once  you  have installed and permissions to use FUSE, simply run chirp_fuse with the name
       of a directory on which the filesystem should be mounted.

       For    complete    details    with    examples,    see    the    Chirp    User's    Manual
       (http://ccl.cse.nd.edu/software/manuals/chirp.html).

OPTIONS

       -a, --auth=<flag>
              Require this authentication mode.

       -b, --block-size=<bytes>
              Block size for network I/O. (default is 65536s)

       -d, --debug=<flag>
              Enable debugging for this subsystem.

        -D, --no-optimize
              Disable small file optimizations such as recursive delete.

        -f, --foreground
              Run in foreground for debugging.

       -i, --tickets=<files>
              Comma-delimited list of tickets to use for authentication.

       -m, --mount-options=<option>
              Pass mount option to FUSE. Can be specified multiple times.

       -o, --debug-file=<file>
              Write  debugging  output  to  this  file.  By  default, debugging is sent to stderr
              (":stderr"). You may specify logs be sent to  stdout  (":stdout"),  to  the  system
              syslog (":syslog"), or to the systemd journal (":journal").

       -t, --timeout=<timeout>
              Timeout for network operations. (default is 60s)

        -v, --version
              Show program version.

        -h, --help
              Give help information.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       •   CHIRP_CLIENT_TICKETS  Comma  delimited  list  of tickets to authenticate with (same as
           -i).

EXIT STATUS

       On success, returns zero.  On failure, returns non-zero.

EXAMPLES

       To create and use a FUSE mount point for access to remote chirp servers:

               % chirp_fuse /tmp/chirp-fuse &
               % cd /tmp/chirp-fuse
               % ls
               % cd host:port
               % cat foo/bar
               % exit
