Description : plastic (twistable, bendable, malleable) file system access
The Plastic File System is an LD_PRELOAD module for manipulating how a
program sees the filesystem. This allows virtual filesystems to exist
in userspace, without kernel hacks or modules.
.
Plastic filesystems include:
- ``viewpath'' which unions a set of directory trees in a view path
so that they appear to be a single directory tree.
- ``smartlink'' expands environment variables in symbolic links, using
the standard $name syntax, like DG/UX did with its ``e-links''.
- ``log'' transparently logs all file accesses, similar to strace.
- and many others!
