This package contains the development files used in building applications that use the gnome structured file library.

the gnome structured file library aims to provide an efficient extensible i/o abstraction for dealing with different structured file formats. it is actively being developed and its api is still likely to undergo significant changes (in particular, extensions).

this package supports the use of bonobo, gnome's corba-based component architecture and of gnome-vfs, the gnome virtual file-system.
