Dokan FUSE

Dokan Fuse is a wrapper library that makes Dokan compatible with FUSE API. Now available by default in main source repository and installers, Dokan Fuse comes from an original work of Alex Besogonov, fuse4win project.

To use it, you only have to link with the static library dokanfuse.lib.

TODO

  • Currently special entries '.' and '..' in walk_directory/walk_directory_getdir are not processed correctly. Particularly, they have incorrect timestamps. Fix this.
  • Try to emulate Unix permissions using Windows ACLs.
  • Fix symlink handling.
