File Abstraction Layer

The gnome-vfs file abstraction layer provides a simplified and generalized way for applications to interact with files. The file abstraction layer also provides Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) locations that map to particular menu configuration files. To add a menu or a menu item for all users, you must add the menu or menu item to one of the URI locations. Table 2–1 lists the menus to which you can add items, and the URI locations that correspond to the menus.
