filesystems/avfs - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Virtual File System library

AVFS is a virtual file system, which enables all programs to look inside
archived or compressed files, or access remote files without recompiling
the programs or changing the kernel.

At the moment it supports floppies, tar and gzip files, zip, bzip2, ar
and rar files, ftp sessions, http, webdav, rsh/rcp, ssh/scp. Quite a
few other handlers are implemented with the Midnight Commander's
external FS.
