50.Sh DESCRIPTION
51.Bl -tag -width xxxx
52.It Fn puffs_pn_new pu priv
53Create a new node and attach it to the mountpoint
54.Ar pu .
55The argument
56.Ar priv
57can be used for associating file system specific data with the new
58node and will not be accessed by puffs.
59.It Fn puffs_nodewalk_fn pu pn arg
60A callback for
61.Fn puffs_nodewalk .
62The list of nodes is iterated in the argument
63.Ar pn
64and the argument
65.Ar arg
66is the argument given to
67.Fn puffs_nodewalk .
68.It Fn puffs_nodewalk pu nwfn arg
69Walk all nodes associted with the mountpoint
70.Ar pu
71and call
72.Fn nwfn
73for them.
74The walk is aborted if
75.Fn puffs_nodewalk_fn
76returns a value which is not
77.Dv NULL .
78This value is also returned this function.
79In case the whole set of nodes is traversed,
80.Dv NULL
81is returned.
82This function is useful for example in handling the
83.Fn puffs_fs_sync
84callback, when cached data for every node should be flushed to stable
85storage.
86.It Fn puffs_pn_remove pn
87Signal that a node has been removed from the file system, but do not
88yet release resources associated with the node.
89This will prevent the nodewalk functions from accessing the node.
90If necessary, this is usually called from
91.Fn puffs_node_remove
92and
93.Fn puffs_node_rmdir .
94.It Fn puffs_pn_put pn
95Free all resources associated with node
96.Ar pn .
97This is typically called from
98.Fn puffs_node_reclaim .
