  33       GnomeVFS file operations are, for the most part, patterned after
  34       their POSIX equivalents, with the systematic difference that they
  35       accept URIs rather than paths on the local filesystem. This makes
  36       them easy to learn as if you are already familiar with basic commands
  37       such as open(), seek(), write(), etc you will feel right at home
  38       with GnomeVFS after learning a little about URIs.
  39     </p><p>
  40       GnomeVFS also provides asynchronous versions of these basic operations
  41       for allowing application developers to provide non-blocking file I/O
  42       without the use of threads.
