+archivemount (mounts an archive for access as a file system)
+
+archivemount is a FUSE based file system. Its purpose is to mount
+an archive on a mount point where it can be read from or written to
+as with any other file system. This makes accessing the contents of
+the archive, which may be compressed, transparent to other programs,
+without decompressing them.
+
+Supported archive formats: tar, pax, cpio, iso9660 (CD-ROM) images,
+zip, shar. Other archive types such as rar and 7z may also work.
