It includes a &#8216;local&#8217; implementation using POSIX. gvfs provides implementations that go beyond that and allow to access files and storage using many protocols, such as ftp, http, sftp, dav, nfs, etc. It also provides support for trash folders, for cd burning and for monitoring interesting devices and volumes on the computer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Applications use gvfs indirectly, by means of GIO loading the gvfs module that implements the GIO extension points. The gvfs support for volume monitoring is included in a separate loadable module.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">The actual gvfs implementation is distributed over a number of processes. None of these are expected to be started from the commandline, except for debugging purposes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Main processes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd \u2212 the main gvfs daemon<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212fuse \u2212 mounts gvfs as a fuse filesystem<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212metadata \u2212 writes gvfs metadata<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Volume monitors:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfs\u2212afc\u2212volume\u2212monitor \u2212 a volume monitor for Apple iPhone\/iPod Touch devices<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfs\u2212goa\u2212volume\u2212monitor \u2212 a volume monitor for GNOME Online Accounts<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfs\u2212gphoto2\u2212volume\u2212monitor \u2212 a volume monitor for PTP devices<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfs\u2212mtp\u2212volume\u2212monitor \u2212 a volume monitor for MTP devices<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfs\u2212udisks2\u2212volume\u2212monitor \u2212 a udisks2\u2212based volume monitor<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\">Mount backends:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212admin \u2212 mounts local filesystem with admin privileges<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212afc \u2212 mounts iPhone\/iPod touch volumes<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212afp \u2212 mounts Apple Filing Protocol volumes<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212afp\u2212browse \u2212 browses Apple Filing Protocol volumes<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212archive \u2212 mounts archive files in various formats<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212burn \u2212 provides a location for burning CDs<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212cdda \u2212 mounts audio CDs<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212computer \u2212 provides computer:\/\/<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212dav \u2212 mounts DAV filesystems<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212dnssd \u2212 browses dnssd<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212ftp \u2212 mounts over FTP<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212google \u2212 mounts Google Drive shares<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212gphoto2 \u2212 mounts over PTP<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212http \u2212 mounts over HTTP<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212localtest \u2212 a test backend<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212mtp \u2212 mounts over MTP<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212network \u2212 provides network:\/\/<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212nfs \u2212 mounts over NFS<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212recent \u2212 provides recent:\/\/<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212sftp \u2212 mounts over sftp<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212smb \u2212 mounts Windows Shares Filesystem volumes<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212smb\u2212browse \u2212 browses Windows Shares Filesystem volumes<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%; margin-top: 1em\">\u2022 gvfsd\u2212trash \u2212 provides trash:\/\/<\/p>\n<h2>ENVIRONMENT <a name=\"ENVIRONMENT\"><\/a> <\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em\"><b>GIO_USE_VFS<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left:17%;\">If set, specifies the GIO vfs implementation to use.
