SYNOPSIS

        # command line
        mkdir fuse_dir
        config-edit -application popcon -ui fuse -fuse_dir fusedir
        ll fuse_dir
        fusermount -u fuse_dir

        # programmatic
        use Config::Model ;
        use Config::Model::FuseUI ;
        use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy) ;

        Log::Log4perl->easy_init($WARN);
        my $model = Config::Model -> new;
        my $root = $model -> instance (root_class_name => "PopCon") -> config_root ;
        my $ui = Config::Model::FuseUI->new( root => $root, mountpoint => "fuse_dir" );
        $ui -> run_loop ;  # blocking call

        # explore fuse_dir in another terminal then umount fuse_dir directory

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a virtual file system interface for you configuration data. Each
       possible parameter of your configuration file is mapped to a file.

Example

        $ perl -Ilib config-edit -ui fuse -fuse_dir fused -appli popcon
        Mounting config on fused in background.
        Use command 'fusermount -u fused' to unmount
        $ ll fused
        total 4

BUGS

       For some configuration, mapping each parameter to a file may lead to a high number of
       files.

constructor

new (...)

       parameters are:

       model
           Config::Model object

       root
           Root of the configuration tree ("Config::Model::Node" object )

       mountpoint

Methods

   run_loop( fork_in_loop => 1|0, debug => 1|0)
       Mount the file system either in the current process or fork a new process before mounting
       the file system.  In the former case, the call is blocking. In the latter, the call will
       return after forking a process that will perform the mount. Debug parameter is passed to
       Fuse system to get Fuse traces.

   fuse_mount
       Mount the fuse file system. This method will block until the file system is unmounted
       (with "fusermount -u mount_point" command)
