About:
OSXFUSE is a kernel extension that provides a framework for developers to create file systems in user space on macOS. It enables applications to expose custom filesystems without modifying kernel code, offering a stable and secure interface. This allows for features like network drives, layered file systems, and support for non-native filesystems.
Key Features:
  • User-space file system implementation
  • High-performance I/O operations
  • Support for multiple programming languages
  • POSIX-compliant file system interface
Use Cases:
  • Mounting remote file systems over network protocols
  • Implementing custom or layered file systems
  • Accessing filesystems from other operating systems
Alternatives:
  • macFUSE – Successor project maintained by Google; OSXFUSE is the older name/implementation
