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. gnome-vfs in that filesystems must -be mounted before they are used. There is a central daemon (gvfsd) -that handles coordinting 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. More backends are planned. - -gvfs also contains modules for gio that implement hal 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. |
