chirp_fuse(1)
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_run(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.

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>

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
