NAME

gvfs-info - Show information about files

SYNOPSIS

gvfs-info [OPTION...] [LOCATION...]

DESCRIPTION

gvfs-info

shows information about the given locations.

gvfs-info is similar to the traditional ls utility, but using gvfs locations instead of local files: for example you can use something like smb://server/resource/file.txt as location.

File attributes can be specified with their gvfs name, e.g. standard::icon, or just by namespace, e.g. unix, or by '*' which matches all attributes. Several attributes or groups can be specified, separated by comma.

By default, gvfs-info shows all attributes.
