At one time in history FUSE was used more readily OS X 10.4 and above—MacFUSE allows you to extend Mac OS X's native file handling capabilities via 3rd-party file systems. It is used as a software building block by "dozens" of products.


MacFUSE made it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space. It provided multiple APIs, one of which is a superset of the FUSE (File-system in USEr space) API that originated on Linux.


Have not seen a call for it in a long time.


More information would be helpful if you truly need it ot not.
