  48 Execute a backend dependent operation specified by the string <i class="parameter"><tt>operation</tt></i>.
  49 This is typically used for specialized vfs backends that need additional
  50 operations that gnome-vfs doesn't have. Compare it to the unix call ioctl().
  51 The format of <i class="parameter"><tt>operation_data</tt></i> depends on the operation. Operation that are
  52 backend specific are normally namespaced by their module name.</p><p>
