ZControl

Filesystem RPC C++ Library for Unix systems

Architecture

• Commander - Library that communicates with a single Worker and issues commands to it
• Worker - Library that communicates with a Commander and handles commands
• Server - Accepts incoming Worker connections and manages Commanders for them
• ZCFS - FUSE module that allows access to remote Workers filesystems
• ZCWorkerd - Executable wrapper for a Worker

Building

To build you must use CMake 3.9+ and compiler supporting C++17. Enter the source directory and run the following commands:

mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j

To diasble building of unneeded components, override the options specified under the main CMakeList.txt

ZCFS Usage

• Mount ZCFS under /mnt/z with default host and port parameters (0.0.0.0:4444)

./zcfs/zcfs /mnt/z

Mount ZCFS under /mnt/z with specified host and port parameters

./zcfs/zcfs /mnt/z -o host=127.0.0.1,port=4422

To unmount, use unmount as in other file systems

ZCWorkerd Usage

./zcworkerd/zcworkerd [HOST] [PORT]
