Introduction

Unix Userspace Virtual File System is an API to access the virtual filesystem from userspace. Such an API would allow filesystems to be implemented in userspace, without having to know the specifics of the kernel. An example usage would be to make files from a remote server available through a filesystem that implements the SSH protocol. This implementation would then work on any system implementing UUVFS.
