13036N/AGnomeVFS is obsolete. It has been superseded by libgio-2.0. See

10139N/A<para>GnomeVFS is a filesystem abstraction library which gives applications

10139N/Aplugable transparent access to a variety of "real" filesystems, from WebDAV

10139N/Ato digital cameras, to the local filesystem. It also contains a number of

10139N/Aother convenient file utilities such as a comprehensive MIME database / Application

10139N/Aregistry, and a copy engine. Use of GnomeVFS also ensures that an application

10139N/Aor component will be usable by Nautilus or other GnomeVFS applications for

10139N/Ahandling the display of data from various URIs.</para>

10139N/A<para>Besides providing transparent access to data methods that you might

10139N/Aotherwise have to implement, GnomeVFS provides a number of convenient libraries

10139N/Afor processing URIs, detecting the MIME type of files, and identifying which

10139N/Aapplications or components to launch to view a file or what icon to use. Writing

10139N/Aa GnomeVFS module may also be an appropriate solution to some data access

10139N/Aproblems as it allows the developer to implement a relatively small number

10139N/Aof functions to gain general filesystem semantics.</para>

10139N/A<para>To access the API documentation, you must install the developer version

10139N/Aof the package.</para>
