 * @header GMUserFileSystem
 *
 * Contains the class and delegate methods used to create a user space file
 * system. Typical use would be to instantiate a
 * @link GMUserFileSystem GMUserFileSystem @/link instance, providing a delegate
 * that implements the core methods of the file system. The GMUserFileSystem
 * object can then be mounted at a specified path and will pass on file system
 * operations to its delegate until it is unmounted.

/*!
 * @class
 * @discussion This class controls the life cycle of a user space file system.
 * The GMUserFileSystem is typically instantiated with a delegate that will
 * serve file system operations. The delegate needs to implement some or all of
 * the methods in the GMUserFileSystemOperations informal protocol. It may also
 * implement methods from the GMUserFileSystemLifecycle and
 * GMUserFileSystemResourceForks protocols as necessary.<br>
 *
 * After instantiating a GMUserFileSystem with an appropriate delegate, call
 * mountAtPath:withOptions: to mount the file system. A call to unmount or an
 * external umount operation will unmount the file system. If the delegate
 * implements methods from the GMUserFileSystemLifecycle informal protocol then
 * these will be called just before mount and unmount. In addition, the
 * GMUserFileSystem class will post mount and unmount notifications to the
 * default notification center. Since the underlying GMUserFileSystem
 * implementation is multi-threaded, you should assume that notifications will
 * not be posted on the main thread. The object will always be the
 * GMUserFileSystem* and the userInfo will always contain at least the
 * kGMUserFileSystemMountPathkey.<br>
 *
 * The best way to get started with GMUserFileSystem is to look at some example
 * file systems that use Fuse4X.framework. See the example file systems found
 * <a href="http://macfuse.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/filesystems-objc/">here</a>.

 * @category
 * @discussion The core set of file system operations the delegate must implement.
 * Unless otherwise noted, they typically should behave like the NSFileManager
 * equivalent. However, the error codes that they return should correspond to
 * the BSD-equivalent call and be in the NSPOSIXErrorDomain.<br>
 *
 * For a read-only filesystem, you can typically pick-and-choose which methods
 * to implement.  For example, a minimal read-only filesystem might implement:<ul>
 *   - (NSArray *)contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:(NSString *)path
 *                                    error:(NSError **)error;<br>

 *   - (NSData *)contentsAtPath:(NSString *)path;</ul>
 * For a writeable filesystem, the Finder can be quite picky unless the majority
 * of these methods are implemented. However, you can safely skip hard-links,
 * symbolic links, and extended attributes.
