                <para><command>gvfsd-metadata</command> is a daemon acting
                as a write serialiser to the internal gvfs metadata storage.
                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.</para>

                <para>The gvfs metadata capabilities are used by
                the nautilus file manager, for example.</para>
