NAME

6       gvfsd - Main daemon for gvfs
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gvfsd [OPTION...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       gvfsd is the main daemon for the gvfs virtual filesystem. It provides
13       the org.gtk.vfs.Daemon name on the session bus. gvfsd is autostarted by
14       GIO clients if it is not running.
15
16       The primary task of gvfsd is to act as a mount tracker/manager. It
17       spawns new backends when requested and keeps track of their lifecycle,
18       maintaining a list of active mounts and creates direct connections to
19       them.
20
21       Since gvfs backends are running as children of the gvfsd process, it is
22       possible to start gvfsd in a terminal and set environment variables to
23       get debug output from individual backends.
24
25       gvfsd also starts the gvfsd-fuse(1), and provides it the mount point
26       where the fuse file system should be mounted.
