libimobiledevice/ifuse β˜… 1020 156 APPLICATION

ifuse is a command-line application that mounts directories of an iOS device locally using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). It communicates with the device via libimobiledevice to access AFC (Apple File Connection) services. The code is a single C file (src/ifuse.c) that implements all FUSE operations by translating them to AFC calls over USB. The device can be configured to mount the media partition, root filesystem (jailbroken), or app document/container folders. The architecture is monolithic: main() parses arguments, establishes a device connection via lockdownd, starts the appropriate service (AFC, AFC2, or House Arrest), and then calls fuse_main() with a set of callback functions. Those callbacks (getattr, readdir, open, read/write, truncate, etc.) use the AFC client API to perform file operations. The codebase is actively maintained (last commit April 2026) with current dependencies (libfuse3, libimobiledevice 1.4). However, it is tightly coupled to the device state and represents a single-module design with no unit tests. While functional and well‑structured for a typical C FUSE client, it offers no modular component that could be extracted and reused independently.
