Fuseflt is a FUSE-based filesystem which provides the capability to create custom file conversion filters and apply them on request.
The fuseflt software is a FUSE filesystem that provides the user with the ability to define filters for file conversions. When requested, these filters are then applied. This software determines file types based on filename extensions. The project is available for use under the GNU General Public License.
An example of converting files using a filter can be demonstrated by converting bzip2-compressed files to gzip-compressed ones. The following code illustrates how to perform the conversion:
flt_in = .bz2
flt_out = .gz
flt_cmd = bzip2 -dc | gzip -9c
When using this software, a usage example could be:
$ ls a.bz2 b.bz2
$ zcat a.gz A A A A A
$ zcat b.gz B B B B B
To be more transparent in the conversion process, you may add the following to the configuration:
ext_in = .bz2
ext_out = .gz
In the newest release of this software, symlinks are now handled properly. Additionally, the performance of the getattr() method has been significantly improved. Overall, fuseflt is a great tool for anyone who needs to convert files quickly and efficiently.
