There are some details on the Wiki:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Writing_a_Samba_VFS_Module

Also, an older version of this here for Samba 3.6:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/The_new_version_of_Writing_a_Samba_VFS

The Wiki could do with some updating, but you should be able to get an
idea of what to do.

You can also read the code of various modules or
source3/modules/vfs_default.c to figure out what each function does.
