They are public, unix-specific APIs, in a separate pkg-config file. GUnixMount is basically a fstab/mtab parser. The main reason its exposed is that we need to use it in the Hal volume monitor implementation in gvfs. GUnixInput/OutputStream is a way to create streams from a unix file descriptor (typically a pipe or a socket). It was moved to the unix specific api because using a "int fd" argument is not portable. It is however used by e.g. gvfs and is quite useful for some things. _______________________________________________ gnome-vfs-list mailing list gnome-vfs-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-vfs-list
