GIO (Gnome Input/Output) is a library, designed to present programmers with a modern and usable interface to a virtual file system. It allows applications to access local and remote files with a single consistent API, which was designed "to overcome the shortcomings of GnomeVFS" and be "so good that developers prefer it over raw POSIX calls."[2]
GIO serves as low-level system library for the GNOME Shell/GNOME/GTK+ software stack and is being developed by The GNOME Project. It is maintained as a separate library, libgio-2.0, but it is bundled with GLib. GIO is free and open-source software subject to the requirements of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
Features
- The abstract file system model of GIO consists of a number of interfaces and base classes for I/O and files.
- There are a number of stream classes, similar to the input and output stream hierarchies that can be found in frameworks like Java.
- There are interfaces related to applications and the types of files they handle.
- There is a framework for storing and retrieving application settings.
- file type detection with xdgmime (xdg = X Desktop Group = freedesktop.org)[3]
- file monitoring with inotify[4]
- file monitoring with FAM[5]
- There is support for network programming, including name resolution, lowlevel socket APIs and highlevel client and server helper classes.
- There is support for connecting to D-Bus, sending and receiving messages, owning and watching bus names, and making objects available on the bus.
Beyond these, GIO provides facilities for file monitoring, asynchronous I/O and filename completion. In addition to the interfaces, GIO provides implementations for the local case. Implementations for various network file systems are provided by the GVfs package as loadable modules.

GIO是一种致力于提供现代的、易用的VFS（虚拟文件系统）API，其目标是克服GnomeVFS的缺陷和为开发者提供一种与原生态POSIX调用一样好的API。但GIO并不是POSIX API的复制，而是提供了一个高层的、以文档为中心的接口集。
GIO是GVFS的I/O库，计划用来取代Gnome-vfs。它附带glib作为一个独立的库，称为“libgio-2.0”。libgio包括文件i/o、文件类型等的抽象，同时也默认实现本地文件i/o。
