    <title>Description</title>
    <para><command>gio</command> is a utility that makes many of the GIO
      features available from the commandline. In doing so, it provides
      commands that are similar to traditional utilities, but let you
      use GIO locations instead of local files: for example you can use
      something like <filename>smb://server/resource/file.txt</filename>
      as a location.</para>
    <para>Plain filenames which contain a colon will be interpreted as URIs
      with an unknown protocol. To avoid this, prefix them with a path such as
      <filename>./</filename>, or with the <literal>file:</literal> protocol.</para>

          <para>Provides commandline access to various aspects of GIO’s mounting
            functionality.</para>
          <para>Mounting refers to the traditional concept of arranging multiple
            file systems and devices in a single tree, rooted at <filename>/</filename>. Classical
            mounting happens in the kernel and is controlled by the mount utility.
            GIO expands this concept by introducing mount daemons that can make
            file systems available to GIO applications without kernel
            involvement.</para>
          <para>GIO mounts can require authentication, and the <command>mount</command> command
            may ask for user IDs, passwords, and so on, when required.</para>
