BFFS is an AmigaOS filesystem with support utilities to read and write
Berekeley Fast Filesystem (FFS/UFS) media.  Copyright 1991-2018 Chris Hooper.

BFFSFilesystem allows you to mount (and use) Unix filesystems directly
under AmigaDOS.  Function in the operating system is similar to how
FastFileSystem is used to read and write Amiga-native media.  This
filesystem should be compatible with most AmigaOS applications which
use the Dos Exec message layer or above.

This release is an update to BFFS 1.5 which was released in August 1996,
and is the first release to include full source.  This version should be
compatible with the following UNIX filesystems:
    SunOS 4.1, 4.1.1, 4.1.2.
    Amiga UNIX (SVR4) UFS
    BSD 4.3 and 4.4 UFS/FFS - still supported by NetBSD 7.1.1
    BSD UFS V1 (this is post-4.4 and pre-UFS V2) - supported by NetBSD 7.1.1
    BSD UFS V2 (read-only at best)

There are a few different builds of the filesystem included in the
distribution.  The default "BFFSFileSystem" can automatically detect and
read/write both big-endian and little-endian filesystems.  It has been
tested against NetBSD/amd64 7.1.1 newfs and fsck.

The following support utilities are included:
    bffstool  cmp      disklabel  edumpfs         fsck  mknod  restore  tunefs  
    chmod     dbprint  dump       fs_file_verify  ln    newfs  sync     umount  
    chown     dcp      dumpfs     fs_thrash       ls    rdb    touch
