Linux's PDF reader "Evince" will save where you are in a book so that the next time you open it it jumps to that page and position.
I was wondering where is this stored? What file does evince read from to know where I last was in each of my books?

The data about files which evince has opened are in ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home, but I have no idea what the format is: the magic number DA1A gives no clue.
The file names are in there, so I guess the exit positions are in there too, but they are not adjacent to the file names, which are a sequence of null-terminated strings.
There are other file names in the file which have no obvious connection with evince, so the file may be used by other applications as well.
