 MacFuse 2.0.3.2
MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a
fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4
and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE (File-system in
USErspace) mechanism that originated on Linux. Therefore, many existing
FUSE file systems become readily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE
is in a dynamically loadable kernel extension.
Although MacFUSE has a completely different kernel-level implementation
from Linux FUSE, it supports the FUSE specification well enough that
many popular FUSE file systems can be easily compiled and work on Mac OS
X--often out of the box. Examples of file systems that work and have
been tested (to varying degrees) include sshfs, ntfs-3g (read/write
NTFS), ftpfs (read/write FTP), wdfs (WebDAV), cryptofs, encfs, bindfs,
unionfs, beaglefs (yes, including the entire Beagle paraphernalia), and
so on.
Besides making many existing FUSE file systems available on Mac OS X,
MacFUSE opens up a whole new set of opportunities for Macintosh
developers, who can now put intuitive and innovative interfaces around
all kinds of information.
