     28 GnomeVFS is obsolete.  It has been superseded by libgio-2.0.  See
     29 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>libgio-2.0</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

     31 <para>GnomeVFS is a filesystem abstraction library which gives applications
     32 plugable transparent access to a variety of "real" filesystems, from WebDAV
     33 to digital cameras, to the local filesystem. It also contains a number of
     34 other convenient file utilities such as a comprehensive MIME database / Application
     35 registry, and a copy engine. Use of GnomeVFS also ensures that an application
     36 or component will be usable by Nautilus or other GnomeVFS applications for
     37 handling the display of data from various URIs.</para>
     38 <para>Besides providing transparent access to data methods that you might
     39 otherwise have to implement, GnomeVFS provides a number of convenient libraries
     40 for processing URIs, detecting the MIME type of files, and identifying which
     41 applications or components to launch to view a file or what icon to use. Writing
     42 a GnomeVFS module may also be an appropriate solution to some data access
     43 problems as it allows the developer to implement a relatively small number
     44 of functions to gain general filesystem semantics.</para>
     45 <para>To access the API documentation, you must install the developer version
     46 of the package.</para>
