Overview

========

overheadfs is a FUSE (https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse) file system which

delegates all file system operations to the file system mounted below it. In

other words, it's a proxy file system.

The only effect of mounting overheadfs on a certain directory is the overhead of

FUSE.

overheadfs is mostly useful for demonstration of FUSE and as reference code for

file systems that mirror the original contents of their mount point, with

exceptions: for example, a file system mounted on /etc, which mirrors all files

except a dynamically-generated resolv.conf that specifies a random DNS server.

Building

========

overheadfs is built using Meson (http://mesonbuild.com).

    meson build

    ninja -C build install

overheadfs is compatible with both libfuse3 and the legacy libfuse2.
