## What it is
bazil.org/fuse is a Go library for writing FUSE userspace filesystems. It implements the kernel-userspace FUSE communication protocol from scratch in Go, without depending on the C FUSE library.

## Use cases
- write a custom filesystem in Go
- mount a virtual filesystem on Linux or macOS
- expose cloud or network storage as a local filesystem
- build a read-only filesystem for archives or backups
- prototype filesystem semantics without kernel code

## When to choose
- you want to implement a FUSE filesystem purely in Go
- you need a pure-Go implementation without cgo or the C FUSE library
- you want a well-tested library used by projects like Bazil

## When to avoid
- you need Windows FUSE support
- you need a filesystem implementation in another language
- you require the latest FUSE protocol features with active development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-system
- domain: developer-tools, operating-systems, files
- platform: go
- tags: fuse, filesystem, kernel-userspace, go-library, linux, macos
