NAME
fuse_get_context - FUSE utility routine

SYNOPSIS

    struct fuse_context {
        struct fuse *   fuse;
        uid_t     uid;		/* effective user id */
        gid_t     gid;		/* effective group id */
        pid_t     pid;		/* thread id */
        void      *private_data;	/* set by file system on mount */
        mode_t    umask;		/* umask of the thread */
    };
