-About
-=====
-
-A fuse filesystem implementation to access the contents of iOS devices.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-Development Packages of:
- libfuse (and the associated kernel modules)
- libimobiledevice
- libplist
-
-Software:
- usbmuxd
- make
- autoheader
- automake
- autoconf
- libtool
- pkg-config
- gcc
-
-Installation
-============
-
-To compile run:
- ./autogen.sh
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
-
-Of course you could already use the tool from the src/ directory locally.
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-To mount the media partition from the device:
-
- $ ifuse <mountpoint>
-
-Note:
- If you mount your device as regular user, the system might complain that
- the file /etc/fuse.conf is not readable. It means you do not belong to the
- 'fuse' group (see below).
-
-To unmount as a regular user you must run:
-
- $ fusermount -u <mountpoint>
-
-By default, ifuse (via the AFC protocol) gives access to the '/var/root/Media/'
-chroot on the device (containing music/pictures). This is the right and safe
-way to access the device. However, if the device has been jailbroken, a full
-view of the device's filesystem might be available using the following command
-when mounting:
-
- $ ifuse --root <mountpoint>
-
-Note that only PwnageTool and older jailbreak software installs the necessary
-AFC2 service on the device to enable root filesystem usage. For instance
-blackra1n does not install it and thus does not enable root filesystem access!
-Use with care as the AFC protocol was not made to access the root filesystem.
-
-If using libimobiledevice >= 1.1.0, ifuse can also be used with the iTunes
-file/document sharing feature. It allows you to exchange files with an
-application on the device directly through it's documents folder by specifing
-the application identifier like this:
-
- $ ifuse --documents <appid> <mountpoint>
-
-The following example mounts the documents folder of the VLC app to /mnt:
-
- $ ifuse --documents org.videolan.vlc-ios /mnt
-
-It is also possible to mount the sandboxed root folder of an application
-using the --container parameter:
-
- $ ifuse --container <appid> <mountpoint>
-
-If ideviceinstaller is installed, obtain the 'appid' (bundle identifier) using:
- $ ideviceinstaller -l
-
-Addtional help can be shown using:
-
- $ ifuse --help
-
-Setting up FUSE
-===============
-
-Note that on some systems, you may have to load the 'fuse' kernel
-module first and to ensure that you are a member of the 'fuse' group:
-
- sudo modprobe fuse
- sudo adduser $USER fuse
-
-You can check your membership of the 'fuse' group with:
-
- id | grep fuse && echo yes! || echo not yet...
-
-If you have just added yourself, you will need to logout and log back
-in for the group change to become visible.

+## About
+
+A fuse filesystem implementation to access the contents of iOS devices.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Development Packages of:
+* libfuse (and the associated kernel modules)
+* libimobiledevice
+* libplist
+
+Software:
+* usbmuxd
+* make
+* autoheader
+* automake
+* autoconf
+* libtool
+* pkg-config
+* gcc
+

+```bash
+./autogen.sh
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+To mount the media partition from the device run:
+
+```bash
+ifuse <mountpoint>
+```
+
+**HINT**
+
+If you mount your device as regular user, the system might complain that
+the file /etc/fuse.conf is not readable. It means you do not belong to the
+'fuse' group (see below).
+
+To unmount as a regular user you must run:
+
+```bash
+$ fusermount -u <mountpoint>
+```
+
+By default, ifuse (via the AFC protocol) gives access to the '/var/root/Media/'
+chroot on the device (containing music/pictures). This is the right and safe
+way to access the device. However, if the device has been jailbroken, a full

+```
