Cgofuse is a cross-platform FUSE library for Go. It is implemented using [cgo](https://golang.org/cmd/cgo/) and can be ported to any platform that has a FUSE implementation.
Cgofuse currently runs on **OSX**, **Linux** and **Windows** (using [WinFsp](https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp)).
## How to build
**OSX**
- Prerequisites: [OSXFUSE](https://osxfuse.github.io), [command line tools](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2339/_index.html)
- Build:
```
$ cd cgofuse
$ go install -v ./fuse ./examples/memfs ./examples/passthrough
```
**Linux**
- Prerequisites: libfuse-dev, gcc
- Build:
```
$ cd cgofuse
$ go install -v ./fuse ./examples/memfs ./examples/passthrough
```
**Windows**
- Prerequisites: [WinFsp](https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp), gcc (e.g. from [Mingw-builds](http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download))
- Build:
```
> cd cgofuse
> set CPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\inc\fuse
> go install -v ./fuse ./examples/memfs
```
## How to use
User mode file systems are expected to implement `fuse.FileSystemInterface`. To make implementation simpler a file system can embed ("inherit") a `fuse.FileSystemBase` which provides default implementations for all operations. To mount a file system one must instantiate a `fuse.FileSystemHost` using `fuse.NewFileSystemHost`.
The full documentation is available at GoDoc.org: [package fuse](https://godoc.org/github.com/billziss-gh/cgofuse/fuse)
There are currently three example file systems:
- [Hellofs](examples/hellofs/hellofs.go) is an extremely simple file system. Runs on OSX, Linux and Windows.
- [Memfs](examples/memfs/memfs.go) is an in memory file system. Runs on OSX, Linux and Windows.
- [Passthrough](examples/passthrough/passthrough.go) is a file system that passes all operations to the underlying file system. Runs on OSX, Linux.
## How it is tested
Cgofuse is regularly built and tested on [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/billziss-gh/cgofuse) and [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/billziss-gh/cgofuse). The following software is being used to test cgofuse.
**OSX/Linux**
- [fstest](https://github.com/billziss-gh/secfs.test/tree/master/fstest/ntfs-3g-pjd-fstest-8af5670)
- [fsx](https://github.com/billziss-gh/secfs.test/tree/master/fstools/src/fsx)
**Windows**
- [winfsp-tests](https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/tree/master/tst/winfsp-tests)
