NAME

       gvfsd - Main daemon for gvfs

SYNOPSIS

       gvfsd [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       gvfsd is the main daemon for the gvfs virtual filesystem. It provides the
       org.gtk.vfs.Daemon name on the session bus. gvfsd is autostarted by GIO clients if it is
       not running.

       The primary task of gvfsd is to act as a mount tracker/manager. It spawns new backends
       when requested and keeps track fo their lifecycle, maintaining a list of active mounts and
       creates direct connections to them.

       Since gvfs backends are running as children of the gvfsd process, it is possible to start
       gvfsd in a terminal and set environment variables to get debug output from individual
       backends.

       gvfsd also starts the gvfsd-fuse(1), and provides it the mount point where the fuse file
       system should be mounted.
