Once the GIO is in unstable this will follow. > Gvfs is a "userspace vfs", similar to gnome-vfs, which plugs into > gio. Its shipped as multiple parts: > 1) A client library > This is a GModule that gets loaded by libgio and implements GFile and > the other stuff required to allow files to be accessed and > maninpulated. This library only depends on dbus which is used to talk > to daemons on the session bus handling the actual i/o protocols. > 2) A main gvfs-daemon > This daemon registers with the session bus and keeps track of all > mounted locations and lets you mount new ones. > 3) A horde of mount-daemons > Each mounted location is handled by a separate daemon. This protects > against instability in other mount daemons, and it makes it easier to > implement backends (as they fully control their context). > > There is also an optional fuse module, so that on systems supporting > fuse we can let 3rd party applications not using gio access the mounted > gvfs filesystems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
