The CUSE library is a wrapper for the devfs kernel functionality which is exposed through /dev/cuse . In order to function the CUSE kernel code must either be enabled in the kernel configuration file or loaded separately as a module. Currently none of the committed items are connected to the default builds, except for installing the needed header files. The CUSE code will be connected to the default world and kernel builds in a follow-up commit. The CUSE module was written by Hans Petter Selasky, somewhat inspired by similar functionality found in FUSE. The CUSE library can be used for many purposes. Currently CUSE is used when running Linux kernel drivers in user-space, which need to create a character device node to communicate with its applications. CUSE has full support for almost all devfs functionality found in the kernel: - kevents - read - write - ioctl - poll - open - close - mmap - private per file handle data Requested by several people.
