re. vcardfs, decoding vcards looks like a job for awk. does execfs still only serve one file? do we have a filesystem which will run scripts to serve multiple files?

i dont know where you got the idea from that execfs only serves one
file.
you specify a rule file in execfs maps regular expression on the file
path to a command.
theres a example rule file to serve manual pages in html:
/man2html/([0-9])/([a-zA-Z0-9\.]+) troff -manhtml /sys/man/\1/\2 | troff2html -t '\2(\1)'
execfs is kind of just a toy i wrote to serve manpages from tcp80.
ironically, execfs itself has no manpage.
what it does not do is provide directory listings.
it is probably not what you'd want for a vcardfs where you want
to parse all the files, deduplicate and provide like a index
structure so you can efficiently query the set.

My apologies, I must have misremembered.

That's cool.

That's probably what I was thinking of. I imagine it would be a problem for vcardfs.
