## Detailed Description

This example demonstrates how to implement a character device in userspace ("CUSE"). This is only allowed for root. The character device should appear in /dev under the specified name. It can be tested with the cuse_client.c program.

Mount the file system with:

    cuse -f --name=mydevice

You should now have a new /dev/mydevice character device. To "unmount" it, kill the "cuse" process.

To compile this example, run

    gcc -Wall cuse.c `pkg-config fuse3 --cflags --libs` -o cuse
