gvfsd - Main daemon for gvfs

gvfsd [OPTION...]

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 of 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.

-h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.

--version

Shows the version number and exits.

-r, --replace

Replace the currently running gvfsd instance.

--no-fuse

Don't start the fuse filesystem.

-d, --debug

Enable debug output.

GVFS_DISABLE_FUSE
If this environment variable is set, gvfsd will not start the fuse filesystem.

On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
