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

 -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.
