<title>Description</title>
<para><command>gio</command> is a utility that makes many of the GIO
features available from the commandline. In doing so, it provides
commands that are similar to traditional utilities, but let you
use GIO locations instead of local files: for example you can use
something like <filename>smb://server/resource/file.txt</filename>
as a location.</para>
<para>Plain filenames which contain a colon will be interpreted as URIs
with an unknown protocol. To avoid this, prefix them with a path such as
<filename>./</filename>, or with the <literal>file:</literal> protocol.</para>

<para>Provides commandline access to various aspects of GIOs mounting
functionality.</para>
<para>Mounting refers to the traditional concept of arranging multiple
file systems and devices in a single tree, rooted at <filename>/</filename>. Classical
mounting happens in the kernel and is controlled by the mount utility.
GIO expands this concept by introducing mount daemons that can make
file systems available to GIO applications without kernel
involvement.</para>
<para>GIO mounts can require authentication, and the <command>mount</command> command
may ask for user IDs, passwords, and so on, when required.</para>
