title: Fuse in simpler terms
body: <p>I am working on <code>sshfs</code> to mount a executable to a remote cluster. One of the steps involved in this process is <code>modprobe fuse</code>. While I understand the overall purpose of <code>sshfs</code>, I am not able to understand the part <code>fuse</code> has to play. I looked up on internet about <code>fuse</code> and not able to understand clearly the purpose.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone help me understand the purpose of <code>fuse</code> in simpler terms?</p>
