NAME

       archivemount - mounts an archive for access as a file system

SYNOPSIS

       archivemount [-hVdfs] [-o options] archivepath mountpoint

DESCRIPTION

       The  archivemount command mounts the file tree contained in the archive archivepath on the
       directory  mountpoint.   The  archive's  contents  can  subsequently  be  accessed  inside
       mountpoint  as  a  file  system.  The umount(8) command performs the corresponding unmount
       operation.

       archivemount is known to work under both linux and Mac OS X (via MacFUSE).

EXAMPLE SESSION

       Consider the gzipped tar archive ``files.tgz'' containing files ``file1''  and  ``file2'',
       and an empty directory ``mnt''.

       $ ls
       files.tgz    mnt/

       $ archivemount files.tgz mnt

       $ ls mnt
       file1    file2

       [... Perform desired read/write operations on the archive via mnt/ ...]

       $ umount mnt

       [... Any changes are saved to the archive ...]

ARCHIVE FORMATS

       Archive  format  support  is  provided  by the libarchive(3) library.  Read operations are
       supported for:

              •      old-style tar archives,

              •      most variants of the POSIX ``ustar'' format,

              •      the POSIX ``pax interchange'' format,

              •      GNU-format tar archives,

              •      most common cpio archive formats,

              •      ISO9660 CD images (with or without RockRidge extensions),

              •      Zip archives.

       Archives compressed with gzip(1), bzip2(1), or compress(1) are automatically detected  and
       transparently decompressed.

       The following formats can be written:

              •      POSIX-standard ``ustar'' archives,

              •      POSIX ``pax interchange format'' archives,

              •      POSIX octet-oriented cpio archives,

              •      two different variants of shar archives.

       Before writing, the original archive is renamed with a ``.orig'' extension appended to it.
       More detail about the read/write support can be found in the libarchive(3) documentation.

OPTIONS

       archivemount is built upon the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) library,  and  the  complete

KNOWN BUGS

       This is beta software and should be treated as such.  Bug reports to  the  AUTHORS  listed
       below would be appreciated.

       archivemount  is  forced  to  run  a  single-thread  mode  for  now.  Support  for  stable
       multithreading is planned in a future release.
