Class FuseFS::MetaDir
In: lib/fusefs/metadir.rb
Parent: Object

A full in-memory filesystem defined with hashes. It is writable to the user that mounted it may create and edit files within it, as well as the programmer

Usage

  root = Metadir.new()
  root.mkdir("/hello")
  root.write_to("/hello/world","Hello World!\n")
  root.write_to("/hello/everybody","Hello Everyone!\n")

  FuseFS.start(mntpath,root)

Because Metadir is fully recursive, you can mount your own or other defined directory structures under it. For example, to mount a dictionary filesystem (see samples/dictfs.rb), use: 

  root.mkdir("/dict",DictFS.new())
