* Package name : golang-github-yalue-merged-fs Version : 1.3.0 Upstream Contact: Nathan Otterness * URL : https://github.com/yalue/merged_fs * License : Expat Programming Lang: Go Description : compose Multiple Go Filesystems The [release of version 1.16](https://golang.org/doc/go1.16) of the Go programming language included a standard interface for read-only filesystems, defined in Go's `io/fs` standard library package. With this change came some other standard-library changes, including the fact that `archive/zip` now provides a "filesystem" interface for zip files, or the ability of `net/http` to serve files from any filesystem providing the `io/fs` interface. In conjunction, this means utilities like the HTTP server can now directly serve content from zip files, without the data needing to be extracted manually. . While that's already pretty cool, wouldn't it be nice if you could, for example, transparently serve data from multiple zip files as if they were a single directory? This library provides the means to do so: it implements the `io/fs.FS` interface using two underlying filesystems. The underlying filesystems can even include additional `MergedFS` instances, enabling combining an arbitrary number of filesystems into a single `io/fs.FS`. . This repository provides a roughly similar function to [laher/mergefs](https://github.com/laher/mergefs), but it offers one key distinction: correctly listing contents of merged directories present in both FS's. This adds quite a bit of complexity. However, laher/mergefs will be more performant for filesystems not requiring directory- listing capabilities.
