Cross-platform FUSE library for Go
Cgofuse is a cross-platform FUSE library for Go. It is implemented using cgo and can be ported to any platform that has a FUSE implementation.
Cgofuse currently runs on OSX, Linux and Windows (using WinFsp).
How to build
OSX
- Prerequisites: OSXFUSE, command line tools
- 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, gcc (e.g. from Mingw-builds)
- Build:
> cd cgofuse > set CPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\WinFsp\inc\fuse > go install -v ./fuse ./examples/memfs
How to cross-compile your project using xgo
You can easily cross-compile your project using xgo and the billziss/xgo-cgofuse docker image.
- Prerequisites: docker, xgo
- Build:
$ docker pull billziss/xgo-cgofuse $ go get -u github.com/karalabe/xgo $ cd YOUR-PROJECT-THAT-USES-CGOFUSE $ xgo --image=billziss/xgo-cgofuse \ --targets=darwin/386,darwin/amd64,linux/386,linux/amd64,windows/386,windows/amd64 .
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
There are currently three example file systems:
- Hellofs is an extremely simple file system. Runs on OSX, Linux and Windows.
- Memfs is an in memory file system. Runs on OSX, Linux and Windows.
- Passthrough 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 and AppVeyor. The following software is being used to test cgofuse.
OSX/Linux
Windows
