It installs several modules that are automatically used by applications using the APIs of libgio. There is also FUSE support that allows applications not using GIO to access the GVfs filesystems. + +The GVfs model differs from e.g. GnomeVFS in that filesystems must be mounted before they are used. There is a master daemon (gvfsd) that handles coordinating mounts, and then each mount is (typically) in its own daemon process (although mounts can share daemon process). + +GVfs comes with a set of backends, including trash support, SFTP, SMB, HTTP, DAV, and others. + +GVfs also contains modules for GIO that implement volume monitors and the GNOME URI scheme handler configuration. + +There is a set of command line programs starting with "gvfs-" that lets you run commands (like cat, ls, stat, etc) on files in the GVfs mounts.</description> + <homepage rdf:resource="https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs" /> <mailing-list rdf:resource="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gvfs-list" /> <download-page rdf:resource="http://download.gnome.org/sources/gvfs/" /> |
