gvfs Description

gvfs is a GNOME library for vfs. gvfs is a GNOME library for vfs.gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem designed to work with the i/oabstractions of gio (a library availible in glib >= 2.15.1). Itinstalls several modules that are automatically used by applicationsusing the APIs of libgio. There is also fuse support that allowsapplications not using gio to access the gvfs filesystems.The gvfs model differs from e.g. gnome-vfs in that filesystems mustbe 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 monitorsand the gnome uri-scheme handler configuration.There is a set of command line programs starting with "gvfs-" thatlets you run commands (like cat, ls, stat, etc) on files in the gvfsmounts. What's New in This Release: · Fix crashers and leaks · Handle file:// uris with anchors in gvfs-open · fuse: Support ftruncate to the current file size · escape/unescape hostname part in uris, allowing spaces in e.g. smb domains · hal: Fix "No mount object" error on mount · Change details of the new .xdg-volume-info file format · Fix races in cancellation of gvfs streams · Remove debug spew from backends · ftp: Fix anonymous login · gphoto2: Ignore broken storages with no capacity · Don't globally modify COMP_WORDBREAKS in bash completion script · Don't ask for username when getting ssh key passphrase
