Examples are: translators were data is located in a local file (like zipfs, tarfs, rarfs, ...), single file translators (that do content filtering, output of a command, etc), network based filesystems (ftpfs, httpfs, ...) -- Right now, what's missing is: support for symlinks, file execution, and setting other translators on our node tree. - It's possible to specialize the basic translator library and implement new translator classes. This is done using CLOS. - There is a tree-translator class that makes the managing of a node tree very easy, doing all the work for us, through a simple directory API and implementing the directory callbacks for us. - There is a simple example (something like zipfs) translator that can expose the directories and file contents of a ZIP file. @@ -49,12 +48,11 @@ Creating an extensible translator library in lisp using the mig generated stubs. ### What needs to be done - Using continuations for IO blocking operations. This can be done using cl-cont. -- Callbacks: - - file_lock, file_lock_stat (still not sure if they are really needed) - - file_reparent -- Bind the client RPC calls. +- Create an example proxy translator. +- Fix file_exec, fsys_getroot (block happens in trivfs based translators, when they do RPC's to me when I call fsys_getroot to them) and fetch_root (for passive translators). - Use the socket stubs? - +- Documentation +- More testing ### Notes |
