L.A.,

   You don't need a man page for a tool over which you have no control. Your
example of gvfs is the Gnome virtual file system. Unless you're an
application or system developer, and need to know the API, a man page would
have no value to us reg'lar users. Wikipedia has an article about gvfs.

   Nah.
