Pismo File Mount

Pismo File Mount is an operating system extension that allows applications to create virtual file systems and expose the virtual file system data to the operating system file interface.

Pismo File Mount can be used in many different kinds of applications.  

Features:

Pismo File Mount works for all major operating systems: Windows, Mac and Linux.

• Allows development of file systems that are compatible with all major operating systems.
• Can package an application into a single executable.
• Applications can use content protection mechanisms while still exposing content to the file system.
• Install packages can run without needing to decompress to a temp location.
• Apps can package numerous resources into an archive, but retain access through the file system. 
• Offers encryption and compression.
• On-the-fly conversion to alternate formats.
• Any media player may access media files in CD and DVD images.
• Files in large databases may be accessed through the virtual file system.
• Can use metadata from media files to create alternate view types. 

Pismo File Mount is a versatile and flexible extension to operating systems that allows virtual file systems to be exposed to the operating system as mounted drives.

Pismo File Mount uses a client-server model where the client (driver) sends requests to the server (application providing virtual file system) for processing. 

Pismo File Mount is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac and can be implemented in many programming languages, including C, C++, CLR Languages, Java and JVM.

Pismo file mount comes with a command line interface.  The "cfm" command works from a command or terminal prompt.  

The Pismo File Mount developer kit contains documentation, examples and support files.  

The Pismo File Mount audit package demonstrates what the operating system extension can do, and is a useful application in and of itself.  The audit package facilitates the mounting of container files as read-only or read-write volumes.  The audit package was created with the same tools that are provided to third-party developers.
