+.TH NTFSPROGS 8 "November 2003" "Linux-NTFS version @VERSION@"
+
+.SH OVERVIEW
+The GNOME virtual filesystem (VFS) provides universal access to different filesystems.
+The
+.BR libntfs-gnomevfs
+module enables GNOME VFS aware clients to seamlessly utilize the NTFS library
+.BR libntfs .
+
+So you can access an NTFS filesystem without needing to use the NTFS utilities themselves
+(at least in theory anyway).  In practice this is probably more useful for programs and
+programmers to make using
+.BR libntfs
+easier, more generic, and to allow easier debugging of
+.BR libntfs .
+
+.SH Examples
+.SS Prerequisites
+.PP
+To be able to follow these examples you will need to have installed the test utilities
+from the gnome-vfs-2.4.x package.  The easiest way to do this is to download and compile
+the gnome-vfs-2 package, e.g. download from:
+
+http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.4/2.4.0/sources/gnome-vfs-2.4.0.tar.gz
+
+Then run ./configure followed by make and make install (as root).  This will install
+it into /usr/local so it should not conflict with your existing installation from 
+rpm or deb packages which will be in /usr.
+
+Note you may also need to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig
+(as root) to let your system see the installed gnome-vfs-2.4.x libraries.
+
+Then run ./configure followed by make and make install (as root) in the main
+.BR ntfsprogs
+directory to build and install the
+.BR libntfs-gnomevfs
+module and
+.BR libntfs
+library which is used by the module.
+
+.SS Copying a file from an NTFS partition
+.PP
+To copy the file autoexec.bat from the main directory of an NTFS partition (/dev/hda1)
+to the /tmp directory on your system you could run:
+
+/path/to/gnome-vfs-2.4.x/test/test-xfer file:///dev/hda1#libntfs:/autoexec.bat /tmp/autoexec.bat
+
+To copy a file from a directory inside the NTFS partition you would just specify the full path.
+So for example to copy the file win.ini from the Windows directory you would run:
+
+/path/to/gnome-vfs-2.4.x/test/test-xfer file:///dev/hda1#libntfs:/Windows/win.ini /tmp/win.ini
+
+.SS Shell access to an NTFS partition
+.PP
+For debugging it is most useful to be able to do various things to the NTFS partition while it
+is being operated upon by
+.BR libntfs .
+This is achieved using the test-shell utility (from the gnome-vfs-2.4.x package) by running:
+/path/to/gnome-vfs-2.4.x/test/test-shell
+
+This drops you into the GNOME VFS shell from where you can now cd into the NTFS partition (/dev/hda1)
+by typing: cd file:///dev/hda1#libntfs:/
+
+You are now in the root directory of the NTFS partition.  The first thing you will probably want to
+do is to type "ls" to display the directory contents.
+
+You could then change directories using the "cd" command, e.g. to enter the Windows directory you
+would type: cd Windows
+
+You can then open files, seek inside files, read from files (write is not enabled at present), etc
+thus exercising large portions of the NTFS library.
+
+Use the "help" command while in the shell to see the available commands.
+
+.SH BUGS
+.PP
+No bugs are known but there are several limitations at the moment:
+
+You cannot get information about files other than what the "ls" command 
+in the test-shell can give you, i.e. the "info" command in the test-shell
+does not work.
+
+Further access to the partition is read-only and hence you cannot write
+to files.  This will be changed in the future once the module has had
+more wide testing.
+
+There may be other limitations and possibly bugs.  Please report any
+problems to the NTFS mailing list: linux-ntfs-dev@lists.sourceforge.net
