FUSE setattr

Tag 8: the server sets the mode, the owner, the group or the times of an entry of the mount the client serves live, by the path of the entry within the mount; the client answers with exactly one channel response, ok, read only, or an error.

The server opens this channel when a program in the container performs the operation on the mount. The ask names the entry by its path within the mount, and names no mount: the scope is the mount.

• The request. The tag byte 8 followed by the ask. Request states its form.
• The response. Exactly one channel response and the channel response finish. Response states the sequence.
• The meaning. What the ask means, and what its answer means, FUSE setattr states; the client relays the ask to its client with the mount’s id in front of it.
• No repetition. The server sends the ask exactly once. A channel that ends without a finish, and a channel response finish that no channel response precedes, are reported to the program as the operation failed.
