// For i = 4...99, check if there is a binary called "fusermount" + i
// It is not yet known whether this will work for our purposes, but it is better than not even attempting
for (int i = 4; i < 100; i++) {
prog = findBinaryInFusermountDir("fusermount" + i);
if (access(prog, X_OK) == 0)
return prog;
}

This adds to the string's pointer, it does not make a string concatenation at all. e.g it will lead to the following tries:

  • "rmountXXXX"
  • "mountXXXXX"
  • etc...
    With Xs being invalid memory addresses.
