GIO provides APIs for asynchronously reading and writing files and
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
other streams. Files are referenced by URIs (uniform resource locators), and backends can
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
provide access to more than just local files. When running under the
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
GNOME desktop, GIO uses GVFS to allow access to files over SFTP, FTP,
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
WebDAV, SMB, and other popular protocols. This transparent network
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
file access is free to all applications using GIO.

The GIO file APIs were designed to be used in event-driven graphical
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
interfaces. The non-blocking, asynchronous design means your user interface
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
doesn't hang while waiting for a file. There are also synchronous versions
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
of the APIs available, which are sometimes more convenient for worker
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
threads or processes.
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
GIO also provides routines for managing drives and volumes, querying
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
file types and icons, and finding applications to open files.
