Request

The payload of the channel request: the tag byte 1 and the request of the channel.

[1][path_len: u16, big-endian][path …][offset: u64, big-endian][bytes …]

• The form. The bytes after the tag are exactly the bytes after the tag of the FUSE write ask on a mount scope, and mean the same; that page states every field. The path is UTF-8, /-separated, with no leading /; empty is the root of the subtree.
• Malformed. A channel request whose payload does not decode as stated is answered by a channel response finish that no channel response precedes, and the server does nothing else for it.

The channel request is defined by diverge-sdk-rs/src/container_proxy/outside/endpoints/filesystem/fuse_serve/client/channel_request/frame.rs:

//! What a client's channel request frame carries on a FUSE serve scope.

/// One of the nine asks, the stop, or the tree: the
/// [`volumes::fuse_serve`](crate::provider::endpoints::volumes::fuse_serve) scope's
/// channel request, byte for byte — `0`–`8` the mount's asks, `9`
/// the stop, `10` the tree — answered here by the proxy from the
/// container's filesystem. See
/// [`Frame`](crate::provider::endpoints::volumes::fuse_serve::client::channel_request::Frame)
/// for every tag.
///
/// An alias rather than a re-export because this module is real: the
/// path says this scope's channel request lives here, and it does,
/// rather than naming somewhere else and hoping a reader follows.
/// What the alias points at is right there in the signature. One
/// type rather than two because the whole point is that a relay
/// forwards bytes: the provider hands the proxy the caller's channel
/// request as it arrived, and nothing is re-encoded on the way.
pub type Frame<'a> = crate::provider::endpoints::volumes::fuse_serve::client::channel_request::Frame<'a>;

/// A FUSE serve channel request that could not be read: the volume
/// FUSE serve's own failures. See
/// [`FrameError`](crate::provider::endpoints::volumes::fuse_serve::client::channel_request::FrameError).
