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
