gvfsd-metadata - Man Page

gvfs-metadata [OPTION...]

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​.
