  Description     : FUSE based filesystem for accessing MTP devices

jmtpfs is a FUSE and libmtp based filesystem for accessing MTP (Media Transfer
Protocol) devices. It was specifically designed for exchaning files between
Linux (and Mac OS X) systems and newer Android devices that support MTP but
not USB Mass Storage.

The goal is to create a well behaved filesystem, allowing tools like find and
rsync to work as expected. MTP file types are set automatically based on file
type detection using libmagic. Setting the file appears to be necessary for
some Android apps, like Gallery, to be able to find and use the files.
