NLINKFS
=======

Some file systems does not support symbolic links. NLINKFS was written to acts
over some other file system (fs), dealing with symbolic links as regular files
on the original fs.


How to install
--------------

$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install # (as root)

For more information, see INSTALL file.


How to use
----------

NLINKFS uses the follow syntax:

$ nlinkfs <source_dir> <mount_dir>

<source_dir> - Original file system directory
<mount_dir> - Directory to mount NLINKFS file system

Each symbolic link created on <mount_dir> will be converted to a regular .LNK
file on <source_dir> with the information to where the link points to. In the
same way, nlinkfs will read each .LNK file on <source_dir> and show them as
symbolic links on <mount_dir>. Files created by NLINKFS contains a signature, so
common .LNK (non link) files are allowed.

Example of usage:

$ mkdir {test,mdir}
$ touch test/hello.txt
$ nlinkfs $PWD/test $PWD/mdir
$ cd mdir
$ ln -s hello.txt mylink
$ cd ..
$ fusermount -u mdir

NOTE: You need to pass the complete (absolute) path of <source_dir> and <mount_dir>.
