+ * of calling fuse_session_mount() and fuse_session_unmount(), one could call
+ * fuse_custom_session_fd() where fuse_session_mount() would have otherwise been
+ * called.
+ *
+ * This function does not open or close any file descriptors, meaning it is the
+ * responsibility of the caller to provide a valid file descriptor, such as a
+ * accepted socket. It is also the responsibility to close the socket.
