SYNOPSIS
gvfsd [options]
DESCRIPTION
gvfsd is the main daemon for the GVFS virtual filesystem. It provides the `org.gtk.vfs.Daemon` name on the session bus and is autostarted by GIO clients if not already running.The primary task of gvfsd is to act as a mount tracker/manager. It spawns new backends when requested, keeps track of their lifecycle, maintains a list of active mounts, and creates direct connections to them. GVFS backends run as children of the gvfsd process.
