     1.4 +Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space using FUSE.
     1.5 +Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can be expected by
     1.6 +an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual directories. If one
     1.7 +of these virtual directories is accessed and is not already automounted, afuse
     1.8 +will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that directory. If the mount succeeds
     1.9 +the requested access proceeds as normal, otherwise it will fail with an error.
    1.10 +
    1.11 +The advantage of using afuse over traditional automounters is afuse runs
    1.12 +entirely in user-space by individual users. Thus it can take advantage of the
    1.13 +invoking users environment, for example allowing access to an ssh-agent for
    1.14 +password-less sshfs mounts, or allowing access to a graphical environment to
    1.15 +get user input to complete a mount such as asking for a password.
