gvfsd-fuse
provides FUSE access to GVFS mounts
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
gvfsd-fuse [options] mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
gvfsd-fuse maintains a FUSE mount that exposes GVFS backends (SMB, SFTP, FTP, MTP, and others) to ordinary POSIX applications that know nothing about GVFS. The mount point is given as PATH, normally $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs on modern systems (or the legacy $HOME/.gvfs).Unlike the deprecated gvfs-bin command-line tools (gvfs-ls, gvfs-mount, etc., all replaced by gio), gvfsd-fuse remains an active part of the current GVFS architecture: it is what lets non-GNOME-aware programs open files under a GVFS mount as if they were local.The daemon is normally started automatically by gvfsd the first time something is mounted, and does not need to be run manually.
PARAMETERS
MOUNTPOINT
FUSE mount location.-d
Enable FUSE debug output (implies -f).-f
Run in the foreground.-s
Run single-threaded.-o OPTION
Pass a FUSE-specific mount option (see FUSE documentation for available settings).
CAVEATS
Usually auto-started by gvfsd; manual invocation is rarely needed. Requires kernel FUSE support. Performance depends on the underlying GVFS backend.
HISTORY
gvfsd-fuse has been part of GVFS since GNOME 2.22 (2008), providing FUSE-based filesystem access to GVFS mounts for applications that don't use the GIO/GVFS API directly.
