There's also a companion library: libfuse2. This library is available from the FUSE homepage: <https://github.com/libfuse/> although chances are your distribution already has that library installed if you've installed the "fuse" package itself. See <file:Documentation/filesystems/fuse.rst> for more information. See <file:Documentation/Changes> for needed library/utility version.
