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

 *   <title>Vendor overrides</title>
 *   <para>
 *     Default values are defined in the schemas that get installed by
 *     an application. Sometimes, it is necessary for a vendor or distributor
 *     to adjust these defaults. Since patching the XML source for the schema
 *     is inconvenient and error-prone,
 *     <link linkend="glib-compile-schemas">glib-compile-schemas</link> reads
 *     so-called 'vendor override' files. These are keyfiles in the same
 *     directory as the XML schema sources which can override default values.
 *     The schema id serves as the group name in the key file, and the values
 *     are expected in serialized GVariant form, as in the following example:
 *     <informalexample><programlisting>
 *     [org.gtk.Example]
 *     key1='string'
 *     key2=1.5
 *     </programlisting></informalexample>
 *   </para>
 *   <para>
 *     glib-compile-schemas expects schema files to have the extension
 *     <filename>.gschema.override</filename>
 *   </para>
 * </refsect2>
 *
 * <refsect2>
 *   <title>Binding</title>
 *   <para>
 *     A very convenient feature of GSettings lets you bind #GObject properties
 *     directly to settings, using g_settings_bind(). Once a GObject property
 *     has been bound to a setting, changes on either side are automatically
 *     propagated to the other side. GSettings handles details like
 *     mapping between GObject and GVariant types, and preventing infinite
 *     cycles.
 *   </para>
 *   <para>
 *     This makes it very easy to hook up a preferences dialog to the
 *     underlying settings. To make this even more convenient, GSettings
 *     looks for a boolean property with the name "sensitivity" and
 *     automatically binds it to the writability of the bound setting.
 *     If this 'magic' gets in the way, it can be suppressed with the
 *     #G_SETTINGS_BIND_NO_SENSITIVITY flag.
 *   </para>
 * </refsect2>
