Hey, thanks for updating this in 2022!

Could you provide some usage docs? I cant infer what the commands would be or where they were installed or how to use them (it's been a long time since I've used fuse as well)

Thanks

Could you give an example of what you're trying to do? The binaries can be called manually if necessary but it should be rare. If you double click a disk image (or presumably connect an actual physical disk), it should just mount.

It wasn't clear that this would be tied to a specific file suffix. There are many file suffixes that contain hfs partitions. Either way how to use the cli would be appreciated as well.

I can add some info on manual usage on the web page. But could you elaborate on the many file types that contain HFS partitions? The main usage we are expecting is NDIF or Disk Copy 4.2 disk images, *.img, which are handled by macOS automatically, so I'm curious what you are trying to do. It is not exactly possible to use fuseHFS on its own, you need to use the OS the attach the disk image as a device first, so you may as well let it handle the whole process and call fuseHFS for you, most of the time.
