GVFSD-METADATA(1) User Commands GVFSD-METADATA(1) NAME gvfsd-metadata - Metadata daemon for gvfs SYNOPSIS gvfs-metadata [OPTION...] DESCRIPTION gvfsd-metadata is a daemon acting as a write serialiser to the internal gvfs metadata storage. It is autostarted by GIO clients when they make metadata changes. Read operations are done by client-side GIO code directly, and don't require the daemon to be running. The gvfs metadata capabilities are used by the nautilus file manager, for example. OPTIONS -h, --help Prints a short help text and exits. --version Shows the version number and exits. -r, --replace Replace the currently running instance. EXIT STATUS On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise. FILES $XDG_DATA_HOME/gvfs-metadata The directory where the gvfs metadata database files are stored SEE ALSO gvfs(7), nautilus(1) gvfs GVFSD-METADATA(1)
