macOS creating a virtual drive

[TeeJayEm]

Is there a way to create a virtual drive in leopard and handle the system events (i.e. copy, paste, delete, write, etc)? If so, could you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,


EDIT:

I did a bit more searching and read that linking against the IOKit.framework should provide me with what i'm looking for.

Try MacFUSE

I would use MacFUSE instead of IO Kit. With IO Kit you are going to be writing a kernel level device driver which is much more difficult than a user mode filesystem.

Here is an example of how easy it is to implement a user mode file system using macfuse:

And of course their main page is:

Thanks alot. I looked at some objective-c examples there and they look very promising. I could always start out with this and if i need to make something more proprietary i could.
