| GIO inspects a few of environment variables in addition to the |
| ones used by GLib. |
| </p> |
| <p title="XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_DATA_DIRS"><b><code class="envar">XDG_DATA_HOME</code>, <code class="envar">XDG_DATA_DIRS</code>. </b> |
| GIO uses these environment variables to locate MIME information. |
| For more information, see the <a class="ulink" href="http://freedesktop.org/Standards/shared-mime-info-spec" target="_top">Shared MIME-info Database</a> |
| and the <a class="ulink" href="http://freedesktop.org/Standards/basedir-spec" target="_top">Base Directory Specification</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p title="GVFS_DISABLE_FUSE"><b><code class="envar">GVFS_DISABLE_FUSE</code>. </b> |
| This variable can be set to keep <span class="type">Gvfs</span> from starting the fuse backend, |
| which may be unwanted or unnecessary in certain situations. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The following environment variables are only useful for debugging |
| GIO itself or modules that it loads. They should not be set in a |
| production environment. |
| </p> |
| <p title="GIO_USE_VFS"><b><code class="envar">GIO_USE_VFS</code>. </b> |
| This environment variable can be set to the name of a <a class="link" href="GVfs.html" title="GVfs"><span class="type">GVfs</span></a> |
| implementation to override the default for debugging purposes. |
| The <a class="link" href="GVfs.html" title="GVfs"><span class="type">GVfs</span></a> implementation for local files that is included in GIO |
| has the name "local", the implementation in the gvfs module has |
| the name "gvfs". |
| </p> |
| <p title="GIO_USE_VOLUME_MONITOR"><b><code class="envar">GIO_USE_VOLUME_MONITOR</code>. </b> |
| This variable can be set to the name of a <a class="link" href="GVolumeMonitor.html" title="GVolumeMonitor"><span class="type">GVolumeMonitor</span></a> |
| implementation to override the default for debugging purposes. |
| The <a class="link" href="GVolumeMonitor.html" title="GVolumeMonitor"><span class="type">GVolumeMonitor</span></a> implementation for local files that is included |
| in GIO has the name "unix", the hal-based implementation in the |
| gvfs module has the name "hal". |
| </p> |
| <p title="GIO_USE_URI_ASSOCIATION"><b><code class="envar">GIO_USE_URI_ASSOCIATION</code>. </b> |
| This variable can be set to the name of a <a class="link" href="gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#GDesktopAppInfoLookup"><span class="type">GDesktopAppInfoLookup</span></a> |
| implementation to override the default for debugging purposes. |
| GIO does not include a <a class="link" href="gio-Desktop-file-based-GAppInfo.html#GDesktopAppInfoLookup"><span class="type">GDesktopAppInfoLookup</span></a> implementation, |
| the GConf-based implementation in the gvfs module has the name |
| "gconf". |
| </p> |
| <p title="GVFS_INOTIFY_DIAG"><b><code class="envar">GVFS_INOTIFY_DIAG</code>. </b> |
| When this environment variable is set and GIO has been built |
| with inotify support, a dump of diagnostic inotify information |
| will be written every 20 seconds to a file named |
| <code class="filename">/tmp/gvfsdid.<em class="replaceable"><code>pid</code></em></code>. |
| </p> |
| <p title="GIO_EXTRA_MODULES"><b><code class="envar">GIO_EXTRA_MODULES</code>. </b> |
| When this environment variable is set to a path, or a set of |
| paths separated by a colon, GIO will attempt to load |
| modules from within the path. |
