Gvfs is a userspace virtual filesystem where mounts run as separate processes which you talk to via D-Bus. It also contains a gio module that seamlessly adds gvfs support to all applications using the gio API. It also supports exposing the gvfs mounts to non-gio applications using fuse.

This package contains deprecated command-line tools such as gvfs-copy and gvfs-rename. Please use the gio(1) tool in the libglib2.0-bin package instead.
