It is autostarted by GIO clients when they make metadata changes. Read operations are done by client-side GIO code directly, and don't require the daemon to be running. The gvfs metadata capabilities are used by the nautilus file manager, for example. -h, --help Prints a short help text and exits. --version Shows the version number and exits. -r, --replace Replace the currently running instance. On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise. $XDG_DATA_HOME/gvfs-metadata The directory where the gvfs metadata database files are stored gvfs7, nautilus1
