whefs: an embedded filesystem library for C

Hi, all!

Late last year i started working on an embedded filesystem library for C. The library uses “container files” (called embedded filesystems, or EFSes), in which the client can store “files” (i call them “pseudofiles”). The API allows random read/write access to them using a flexible i/o device interface. If you’ve ever programmed with sqlite - whefs is similar in concept but creates an embedded/virtual filesystem instead an embedded/virtual SQL server.

While whefs is still beta and open for lots of experimentation, it seems to be in a usable state.

To give whefs a more public home, a couple days ago i moved whefs over from its original source repository to Google Code:

The project is of course open to collaboration, and i invite any interested C hackers out there to get in touch.

Happy hacking!
