Crate ntfs_mac_core 

ntfs-mac core.

Subprocess wrappers around ntfs-3g, diskutil, hdiutil, newfs_ntfs, ntfsfix and fsck_ntfs, plus a small config layer.

Design rules (do not violate — they are the reason this library is kept under ~1.5k LOC):

• No unsafe, no unwrap on production paths, no async runtime.
• Every external command goes through runner::run; failures are surfaced as error::Error with the underlying stderr attached.
• Pure parsing helpers are pure and unit-testable; only the module boundaries that touch std::process::Command are impure.
• Destructive NTFS operations require an explicit DestructiveToken to be matched before the API proceeds.

Layout:

ntfs-mac-core
  runner   Subprocess plumbing + timeouts
  error    Typed errors, ExitStatus codes
  config   ~/.config/ntfs-mac/config.toml
  deps     Dependency discovery (ntfs-3g, macFUSE, FUSE-T, ...)
  device   diskutil list -plist parsing
  mount    ntfs-3g / diskutil mount and unmount
  format   mkntfs / newfs_ntfs (destructive, gated)
  fix      ntfsfix / fsck_ntfs
  copy     rsync-based copy with progress
  license  Licence metadata + embedded attribution inventory

Modules

config

Persistent configuration at ~/.config/ntfs-mac/config.toml.

copy

File copy between macOS and an NTFS volume. Uses rsync when available for progress reporting + resume semantics; falls back to cp -a when rsync is not installed.

daemon

Auto-mount daemon.

deps

Dependency discovery: ntfs-3g, macFUSE / FUSE-T, diskutil, hdiutil, rsync, mkntfs/newfs_ntfs, ntfsfix, fsck_ntfs.

device

NTFS volume discovery via diskutil list -plist + mount.

error

Typed errors + POSIX-style exit codes used by the CLI/GUI layer.

fix

NTFS repair. ntfsfix -d unmounts the volume, clears the dirty flag and runs a light chkdsk-like pass. fsck_ntfs is a heavier alternative.

format

Format NTFS volumes. Destructive: requires a matching DestructiveToken.

hardening

Production hardening: panic hook, signal handling, input validation, TTY detection.

license

Licence metadata for the ntfs-mac distribution.

mount

Mount / unmount NTFS volumes.

runner

Small subprocess runner.

Structs

DestructiveToken

Destructive-operation token. Callers that confirm a format or erase action must pass a token whose device_identifier field matches the target device exactly.

Constants

NAME

VERSION

Build-time constants surfaced to the CLI/GUI.
