More than what? :)

examples/hello_ll.c is a simple fuse_lowlevel application, lib/fuse.c
(ie., the hi-level API) is a somewhat more complex one. Reading through
these should help (yet there might be other means to that end). At
least, hello_ll.c takes five minutes to understand, if you are somewhat
familiar with FUSE.

It's a close match to the userspace/kernel messaging interface. Direct
nodeid based file access, and so on. I think it's the most useful for
language binding writers, who can use it to implement the path based API
using native/standard data types of their language.
