Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "g_volume_monitor_get_type ()" ) ]
public class VolumeMonitor : Object

`GVolumeMonitor` is for listing the user interesting devices and volumes on the computer.

In other words, what a file selector or file manager would show in a sidebar.

`GVolumeMonitor` is not thread-default-context aware (see [method@GLib.MainContext.push_thread_default]), and so should not be used other than from the main thread, with no thread-default-context active.

In order to receive updates about volumes and mounts monitored through GVFS, a main loop must be running.
