+# dpfs_rpc_dpu
+This binary consumes the dpfs_hal virtio-fs abstraction layer and sends requests directly over the wire to a remote server
+using eRPC with the RVFS binary format.
+
+# RVFS binary format
+This format will describe the Remote Virtual File System protocol, i.e. virtio-fs directly over the wire via RPC.
+
+The format is subject to change and work in progress. This protocol is not directly exposed to a consumer/cloud tenant,
+the consumer/cloud tenant consumes virtio-fs. Therefore we do not build in any backwards compatibility into the wire format.
+
+### Format
+| Bytes | Data type | Name | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | -- |
+| 0..4 | int32 | num_descs | The amount of descriptors in this message |
+| 5..12 | uint64 | desc_len | The number of bytes in the descriptor following this uint64 |
+| 13.. | raw data | desc_data | Descriptor data bytes |
+
+Where multiple descriptors will follow each other in a single message.
+## Example read request (Bytes are off!)
+See linux/fuse.h for the FUSE struct definitions
+
+| Bytes | Data type | Name | Contents |
+| --- | --- | --- | -- |
+| 0..4 | int32 | num_descs | 3 |

+| 13..44 | raw data | desc_data | FUSE input header `fuse_in_header` |
+| 45..52 | uint64 | desc_len | `sizeof(fuse_read_in)` |
