Hi all,

This sounds like a really interesting project, and has some significant advantages over MacFUSE (64-bit kext problem; external dependency etc).

Is there any more info available, a simple howto create an example FS?

Regards

Rory,

In the source is a small example given in the form of the test application. It's in the test.c file. It implements a read/write filesystem backed by the actual filesystem (in the tmp folder).

Currently the only documentation is currently in the kfslib.h file.

These two files should be a good starting point. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Also, if you find that you're learning things as you work with the framework, please feel free to share where the documentation should be better. If you (or anyone else) is interested in creating a small example project, please don't hesitate. Any contributions would be more than welcome!

Thanks Whitney, i'll check out that header file.

I did actually figure out what was going on in the example FS - as a full time Ruby on Rails dev these days, it takes me a bit of mental gear-shifting to get back into the C mindset ;)

Will update you with progress / hassle you for info as required ;)

Cheers
