 my $model = Config::Model -> new; 
 my $root = $model -> instance (root_class_name => "PopCon") -> config_root ; 
 my $ui = Config::Model::FuseUI->new( root => $root, mountpoint => "mydir" );

BUGS

For some configuration, mapping each parameter to a file may lead to a high number of files.
The content of a file is when writing a wrong value. I.e. the files is empty and the old value is lost.

constructor

new

parameters are:

model: Config::Model object
root: Root of the configuration tree ("Config::Model::Node" object )
mountpoint

Methods

run_loop

Parameters: "( fork_in_loop => 1|0, debug => 1|0 )"

Mount the file system either in the current process or fork a new process before mounting the file system. In the former case, the call is blocking. In the latter case, the call returns after forking a process that performs the mount. Debug parameter is passed to Fuse system to get traces from Fuse.

fuse_mount

Mount the fuse file system. This method blocks until the file system is unmounted (with "fusermount -u mount_point" command)
