43 * @short_description: High-level API for application settings
45 * The #GSettings class provides a convenient API for storing and retrieving
46 * application settings.
48 * Reads and writes can be considered to be non-blocking. Reading
49 * settings with #GSettings is typically extremely fast: on
50 * approximately the same order of magnitude (but slower than) a
51 * #GHashTable lookup. Writing settings is also extremely fast in terms
52 * of time to return to your application, but can be extremely expensive
53 * for other threads and other processes. Many settings backends
54 * (including dconf) have lazy initialisation which means in the common
55 * case of the user using their computer without modifying any settings
56 * a lot of work can be avoided. For dconf, the D-Bus service doesn't
57 * even need to be started in this case. For this reason, you should
58 * only ever modify #GSettings keys in response to explicit user action.
59 * Particular care should be paid to ensure that modifications are not
60 * made during startup -- for example, when setting the initial value
61 * of preferences widgets. The built-in g_settings_bind() functionality
62 * is careful not to write settings in response to notify signals as a
63 * result of modifications that it makes to widgets.
65 * When creating a GSettings instance, you have to specify a schema
66 * that describes the keys in your settings and their types and default
67 * values, as well as some other information.
69 * Normally, a schema has as fixed path that determines where the settings
70 * are stored in the conceptual global tree of settings. However, schemas
71 * can also be 'relocatable', i.e. not equipped with a fixed path. This is
72 * useful e.g. when the schema describes an 'account', and you want to be
73 * able to store a arbitrary number of accounts.
75 * Unlike other configuration systems (like GConf), GSettings does not
76 * restrict keys to basic types like strings and numbers. GSettings stores
77 * values as #GVariant, and allows any #GVariantType for keys. Key names
78 * are restricted to lowercase characters, numbers and '-'. Furthermore,
79 * the names must begin with a lowercase character, must not end
80 * with a '-', and must not contain consecutive dashes.
82 * Similar to GConf, the default values in GSettings schemas can be
83 * localized, but the localized values are stored in gettext catalogs
84 * and looked up with the domain that is specified in the
85 * <tag class="attribute">gettext-domain</tag> attribute of the
86 * <tag class="starttag">schemalist</tag> or <tag class="starttag">schema</tag>
87 * elements and the category that is specified in the l10n attribute of the
88 * <tag class="starttag">key</tag> element.
90 * GSettings uses schemas in a compact binary form that is created
91 * by the <link linkend="glib-compile-schemas">glib-compile-schemas</link>
92 * utility. The input is a schema description in an XML format that can be
93 * described by the following DTD:
94 * |[<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" parse="text" href="../../../../gio/gschema.dtd"><xi:fallback>FIXME: MISSING XINCLUDE CONTENT</xi:fallback></xi:include>]|
96 * glib-compile-schemas expects schema files to have the extension <filename>.gschema.xml</filename>
98 * At runtime, schemas are identified by their id (as specified
99 * in the <tag class="attribute">id</tag> attribute of the
100 * <tag class="starttag">schema</tag> element). The
101 * convention for schema ids is to use a dotted name, similar in
102 * style to a D-Bus bus name, e.g. "org.gnome.SessionManager". In particular,
103 * if the settings are for a specific service that owns a D-Bus bus name,
104 * the D-Bus bus name and schema id should match. For schemas which deal
105 * with settings not associated with one named application, the id should
106 * not use StudlyCaps, e.g. "org.gnome.font-rendering".
108 * In addition to #GVariant types, keys can have types that have enumerated
109 * types. These can be described by a <tag class="starttag">choice</tag>,
110 * <tag class="starttag">enum</tag> or <tag class="starttag">flags</tag> element, see
111 * <xref linkend="schema-enumerated"/>. The underlying type of
112 * such a key is string, but you can use g_settings_get_enum(),
113 * g_settings_set_enum(), g_settings_get_flags(), g_settings_set_flags()
114 * access the numeric values corresponding to the string value of enum

185 * <title>Vendor overrides</title>
187 * Default values are defined in the schemas that get installed by
188 * an application. Sometimes, it is necessary for a vendor or distributor
189 * to adjust these defaults. Since patching the XML source for the schema
190 * is inconvenient and error-prone,
191 * <link linkend="glib-compile-schemas">glib-compile-schemas</link> reads
192 * so-called 'vendor override' files. These are keyfiles in the same
193 * directory as the XML schema sources which can override default values.
194 * The schema id serves as the group name in the key file, and the values
195 * are expected in serialized GVariant form, as in the following example:
196 * <informalexample><programlisting>
200 * </programlisting></informalexample>
203 * glib-compile-schemas expects schema files to have the extension
204 * <filename>.gschema.override</filename>
209 * <title>Binding</title>
211 * A very convenient feature of GSettings lets you bind #GObject properties
212 * directly to settings, using g_settings_bind(). Once a GObject property
213 * has been bound to a setting, changes on either side are automatically
214 * propagated to the other side. GSettings handles details like
215 * mapping between GObject and GVariant types, and preventing infinite
219 * This makes it very easy to hook up a preferences dialog to the
220 * underlying settings. To make this even more convenient, GSettings
221 * looks for a boolean property with the name "sensitivity" and
222 * automatically binds it to the writability of the bound setting.
223 * If this 'magic' gets in the way, it can be suppressed with the
224 * #G_SETTINGS_BIND_NO_SENSITIVITY flag.
