+ * fuse_main() accepts all options that can be passed to
+ * fuse_parse_cmdline(), fuse_new(), or fuse_session_new().

+ * construct a basic ``usage: `` message for the --help
+ * output. argv[0] may also be set to the empty string. In this case

+ * to print their own usage line first. See hello.c for an example of
