gnome_vfs_file_control ()

GnomeVFSResult gnome_vfs_file_control       (GnomeVFSHandle *handle,
                                             const char *operation,
                                             gpointer operation_data);

Execute a backend dependent operation specified by the string operation. This is typically used for specialized vfs backends that need additional operations that gnome-vfs doesn't have. Compare it to the unix call ioctl(). The format of operation_data depends on the operation. Operation that are backend specific are normally namespaced by their module name.
