This software is a FUSE-compliant file system implementation tool designed for Mac OS X. It enables users to mount and manage file systems, providing increased flexibility for software development projects.
MacFUSE is an interesting tool that provides a mechanism enabling a user-space program to implement a fully functional file system on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It is API-compliant with the FUSE (File-system in USErspace) mechanism on Linux, meaning that many existing FUSE file systems that previously were not available on Mac OS X are now readily usable.
The kernel extension in MacFUSE is dynamically loadable and its FUSE compliance is evident by the software's ability to easily compile many popular FUSE file systems on Mac OS X, allowing them to work right out of the box. Tested and supported file systems include sshfs, ntfs-3g (read/write NTFS), ftpfs (read/write FTP), wdfs (WebDAV), cryptofs, encfs, bindfs, unionfs, beaglefs (including the entire Beagle paraphernalia) and many more.
In addition to making previously unavailable FUSE file systems available on Mac OS X, MacFUSE opens up a new world of opportunities for Mac developers. These developers can now create innovative interfaces that make working with information more intuitive and user-friendly.
It is worth noting that a beta version of the software is available for those users who prefer the latest features and functionality over the stable release. MacFUSE is a tool that offers significant benefits to both Mac users and developers and is definitely worth checking out.
