I've never made any releases for apfsprogs before because it was mostly intended for my own use, to help me test the driver. But at this point a few of the tools might actually be useful to others, and even the mkfs is probably mature enough to be safe, so I guess I should start. I'm using 0.2.0 because all of the man pages have been set to 0.1 until now. Signed-off-by: Ernesto A. Fernández <ernesto@corellium.com>
Apfsprogs is a suite of userland software to work with the Apple File System on Linux. It's intended mainly to help test the Linux kernel module that can be retrieved from <git://github.com/eafer/linux-apfs-rw.git>. The following are included: o mkapfs: an experimental filesystem build tool o apfs-snap: a tool to take snapshots of a volume mounted with our module o apfs-label: a tool to list the labels of all volumes in a container o apfsck: a filesystem integrity checker, for now only useful for testers Usage ===== To build any of the tools, just cd to its directory and run make The resulting executable will have the name of the tool, and a man page is available under the same directory. If you run make install the files will be copied to the typical locations in the user home folder: the binary is placed in ~/bin, and the man page in ~/share/man/man8. You can override those paths by setting the BINDIR and MANDIR variables, for example: make install BINDIR=/sbin MANDIR=/usr/share/man/man8/ Credits ======= Written by Ernesto A.
