Apfsprogs is a suite of userland software to work with the Apple File System on Linux. It's intended mainly to help test the Linux kernel module that can be retrieved from git://github.com/eafer/linux-apfs-rw.git. The following are included:

o mkapfs: an experimental filesystem build tool o apfs-snap: a tool to take snapshots of a volume mounted with our module o apfsck: a filesystem integrity checker, for now only useful for testers

Usage

To build any of the tools, just cd to its directory and run

make

The resulting executable will have the name of the tool, and a man page is available under the same directory. If you run

make install

the files will be copied to the typical locations in the user home folder: the binary is placed in ~/bin, and the man page in ~/share/man/man8. You can override those paths by setting the BINDIR and MANDIR variables, for example:

make install BINDIR=/sbin MANDIR=/usr/share/man/man8/
