ObexFS 0.8

ObexFS project is a FUSE-based filesystem using OBEX to access the memory on mobile phones.

FUSE (Filesystem in USErspace) is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the linux kernel. FUSE also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

FUSE is made up of three main parts:

- A kernel filesystem module (kernel/fuse.o)

- A userspace library (lib/libfuse.a)

- A mount/unmount program (util/fusermount)

Heres how to create your very own virtual filesystem in five easy steps (after installing FUSE):

1) Edit the file example/fusexmp.c to do whatever you want...

2) Build the fusexmp program

3) run example/fusexmp /mnt/whatever -d

4) ls -al /mnt/whatever

5) Be glad

If it doesnt work out, please ask! Also see the file include/fuse.h for detailed documentation of the library interface.

You can also mount your filesystem like this:

fusermount /mnt/whatever example/fusexmp -d

The fusermount program now accepts a couple of additional options. Run it with the -h option to see a description.
