ABSTRACT

77       DEPRECATED This module allows you to interface with the GNOME Virtual
78       File System library.  It provides the means to transparently access
79       files on all kinds of filesystems.

DESCRIPTION

82       NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE
83
84       This module has been deprecated by the Gtk-Perl project.  This means
85       that the module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug
86       fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI.  The Git repo for this
87       module has been archived (made read-only), it will no longer possible
88       to submit new commits to it.  You are more than welcome to ask about
89       this module on the Gtk-Perl mailing list, but our priorities going
90       forward will be maintaining Gtk-Perl modules that are supported and
91       maintained upstream; this module is neither.
92
93       Since this module is licensed under the LGPL v2, you may also fork this
94       module, if you wish, but you will need to use a different name for it
95       on CPAN, and the Gtk-Perl team requests that you use your own resources
96       (mailing list, Git repos, bug trackers, etc.) to maintain your fork
97       going forward.

113       Since this module tries to stick very closely to the C API, the
114       documentation found at
115
116         L<http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gnome-vfs-2.0/>
117
118       is the canonical reference.
119
120       In addition to that, there's also the automatically generated API
121       documentation: Gnome2::VFS::index.
122
123       The mapping described in Gtk2::api also applies to this module.

KNOWN BUGS

129       There are some memory leaks especially with respect to callbacks.  This
130       mainly affects GnomeVFSAsync as well as some parts of GnomeVFSXfer and
131       GnomeVFSOps.  GnomeVFSMime leaks some list data.
132
133       GnomeVFSAsync is also known to crash under certain conditions when
134       there are many concurrent transfers.
