+     "AVFS is a FUSE-based filesystem that allows browsing of compressed
+files.  It provides the @command{mountavfs} command that starts a small
+@command{avfsd} daemon.  When a specially formatted path under @file{~/.avfs}
+is accessed, the daemon provides listings and content access on the fly.  The
+canonical form of virtual file name is:
+
+@example
+[basepath]#handler[options][:parameters][/internalpath]
+@end example
+
+Example file names:
+@itemize
+@item @file{~/.avfs/home/user/archive.tar.gz#ugz#utar/path/file}
+@item @file{~/.avfs/#http:localhost|some|path}
+@end itemize
+
+@code{emacs-dired-hacks} has @code{dired-avfs} module which enables seamless
+integration with @code{avfs}.")
