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

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