 * permission checking. However, a filesystem may delegate this task
 * to the kernel by passing the `default_permissions` mount option to
 * `fuse_session_new()`. In this case, methods will only be called if
 * the kernel's permission check has succeeded.
 *
 * It is generally not really necessary to check the fuse_reply_* return
 * values for errors, as any error in sending a reply indicates an
 * unrecoverable problem with the kernel fuse connection, which will also
 * terminate the session loop anyway.

   *
   *  - Access modes (O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, O_RDWR) should be used

   *    the filesystem.
   *
   *  - When writeback caching is enabled, the kernel may send
   *    read requests even for files opened with O_WRONLY. The
   *    filesystem should be prepared to handle this.
   *
   *  - When writeback caching is disabled, the filesystem is
   *    expected to properly handle the O_APPEND flag and ensure
   *    that each write is appending to the end of the file.
   *
   *  - When writeback caching is enabled, the kernel will
   *    handle O_APPEND. However, unless all changes to the file

   *
   * Filesystem may store an arbitrary file handle (pointer,

   * operations (read, write, flush, release, fsync).
   *
   * Filesystem may also implement stateless file I/O and not store
   * anything in fi->fh.
   *
   * There are also some flags (direct_io, keep_cache) which the
