@node Filesystem
@chapter The Filesystem
When a BookmarkFS filesystem is mounted using the @code{mount.bookmarkfs}
program, a daemon process acts as a proxy between the kernel (which relays
filesystem requests to FUSE requests) and the backend (which manipulates
actual bookmark data, @pxref{Backends}), thus providing POSIX
(and platform-specific) filesystem API access to bookmarks.
BookmarkFS is designed in the hope that web browser bookmarks
can be managed flexibly using a combination of existing software,
without having to reinvent the wheel.
However, like most other pseudo-filesystems,
it cannot be considered fully POSIX-compliant.
Users should be aware of the limitations when using BookmarkFS.
