Yes that's what it looks like here
https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs/blob/master/mtp.go . It references
libmtp.

And in answer to an earlier question, the point of my original post was to
point out "go-mtpfs" from Google as an alternative for mtp-fuse (
https://launchpad.net/mtp-fuse ). I found mtp-fuse to be crashy and
unworkable. My original post could have been a little more clear on that
point; sorry I wrote it in a rush.
