    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.

    -h, –help

    Prints a short help text and exits.

    –version

    Shows the version number and exits.

    -w, –query-writable

    Show writable attributes and their types.

    -f, –filesystem

    Show information about the filesystem on which the files reside.

    -a, –attributes=ATTRIBUTES

    The attributes to get, specified as a comma-separated list of gvfs file attribute names.

    -n, –nofollow-symlinks
