<title>Description</title>
<para><command>gvfsd</command> is the main daemon for
the gvfs virtual filesystem. It provides the
<emphasis>org.gtk.vfs.Daemon</emphasis> name on the
session bus. gvfsd is autostarted by GIO clients if it
is not running.</para>
<para>The primary task of <command>gvfsd</command> 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.</para>
<para>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.</para>
<para><command>gvfsd</command> also starts the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>gvfsd-fuse</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>, and provides it the mount point
where the fuse file system should be mounted.</para>
