/** @file
*
* This example implements a file system with a single file whose
* contents change dynamically: it always contains the current time.
*
* This example calls fuse_lowlevel_notify_prune() to notify the kernel
* that the kernel's own dentry/inode cache has to be pruned, and thus
* the corresponding FUSE_FORGET request will be sent to the FUSE server
* with lookup_cnt decreased to 0. The example updates the file's
* content once the lookup_cnt decreased to 0 and the new file content
* will be read when the file is lookued up and read for the next time.
*
* To see the effect, first start the file system with the
* ``--no-notify`` option:
*
* $ notify_prune --update-interval=1 --no-notify mnt/
*
* Observe that the output never changes:
*
* $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
* > cat mnt/current_time
* > sleep 1
* > done
* The current time is 15:26:10
* The current time is 15:26:10
* The current time is 15:26:10
* The current time is 15:26:10
* The current time is 15:26:10
*
* If you instead enable the notification functions, the changes become
* visible:
*
* $ notify_prune --update-interval=1 mnt/
* $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do
* > cat mnt/current_time
* > sleep 1
* > done
* The current time is 15:30:20
* The current time is 15:30:24
* The current time is 15:30:25
* The current time is 15:30:26
* The current time is 15:30:27
*
* ## Compilation ##
*
* gcc -Wall notify_prune.c `pkg-config fuse3 --cflags --libs` -o notify_prune

* ## Source code ##
