37 * SECTION:gsettings
38 * @short_description: High-level API for application settings
39 * @include: gio/gio.h
41 * The #GSettings class provides a convenient API for storing and retrieving
42 * application settings.
44 * Reads and writes can be considered to be non-blocking. Reading
45 * settings with #GSettings is typically extremely fast: on
46 * approximately the same order of magnitude (but slower than) a
47 * #GHashTable lookup. Writing settings is also extremely fast in terms
48 * of time to return to your application, but can be extremely expensive
49 * for other threads and other processes. Many settings backends
50 * (including dconf) have lazy initialisation which means in the common
51 * case of the user using their computer without modifying any settings
52 * a lot of work can be avoided. For dconf, the D-Bus service doesn't
53 * even need to be started in this case. For this reason, you should
54 * only ever modify #GSettings keys in response to explicit user action.
55 * Particular care should be paid to ensure that modifications are not
56 * made during startup -- for example, when setting the initial value
57 * of preferences widgets. The built-in g_settings_bind() functionality
58 * is careful not to write settings in response to notify signals as a
59 * result of modifications that it makes to widgets.
61 * When creating a GSettings instance, you have to specify a schema
62 * that describes the keys in your settings and their types and default
63 * values, as well as some other information.
65 * Normally, a schema has as fixed path that determines where the settings
66 * are stored in the conceptual global tree of settings. However, schemas
67 * can also be '[relocatable][gsettings-relocatable]', i.e. not equipped with
68 * a fixed path. This is
69 * useful e.g. when the schema describes an 'account', and you want to be
70 * able to store a arbitrary number of accounts.
72 * Paths must start with and end with a forward slash character ('/')
73 * and must not contain two sequential slash characters. Paths should
74 * be chosen based on a domain name associated with the program or
75 * library to which the settings belong. Examples of paths are
76 * "/org/gtk/settings/file-chooser/" and "/ca/desrt/dconf-editor/".
77 * Paths should not start with "/apps/", "/desktop/" or "/system/" as
78 * they often did in GConf.
80 * Unlike other configuration systems (like GConf), GSettings does not
81 * restrict keys to basic types like strings and numbers. GSettings stores
82 * values as #GVariant, and allows any #GVariantType for keys. Key names
83 * are restricted to lowercase characters, numbers and '-'. Furthermore,
84 * the names must begin with a lowercase character, must not end
85 * with a '-', and must not contain consecutive dashes.
87 * Similar to GConf, the default values in GSettings schemas can be
88 * localized, but the localized values are stored in gettext catalogs
89 * and looked up with the domain that is specified in the
90 * `gettext-domain` attribute of the <schemalist> or <schema>
91 * elements and the category that is specified in the `l10n` attribute of
92 * the <default> element. The string which is translated includes all text in
93 * the <default> element, including any surrounding quotation marks.
95 * The `l10n` attribute must be set to `messages` or `time`, and sets the
96 * [locale category for
97 * translation](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Aspects.html#index-locale-categories-1).
98 * The `messages` category should be used by default; use `time` for
99 * translatable date or time formats. A translation comment can be added as an
100 * XML comment immediately above the <default> element — it is recommended to
101 * add these comments to aid translators understand the meaning and
102 * implications of the default value. An optional translation `context`
103 * attribute can be set on the <default> element to disambiguate multiple
104 * defaults which use the same string.
106 * For example:
107 * |[
108 * <!-- Translators: A list of words which are not allowed to be typed, in
109 * GVariant serialization syntax.
110 * See: https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/gvariant-text.html -->
111 * <default l10n='messages' context='Banned words'>['bad', 'words']</default>
112 * ]|
114 * Translations of default values must remain syntactically valid serialized
115 * #GVariants (e.g. retaining any surrounding quotation marks) or runtime
116 * errors will occur.
118 * GSettings uses schemas in a compact binary form that is created
119 * by the [glib-compile-schemas][glib-compile-schemas]
120 * utility. The input is a schema description in an XML format.
122 * A DTD for the gschema XML format can be found here:
123 * [gschema.dtd](https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/tree/gio/gschema.dtd)
125 * The [glib-compile-schemas][glib-compile-schemas] tool expects schema
126 * files to have the extension `.gschema.xml`.
128 * At runtime, schemas are identified by their id (as specified in the
129 * id attribute of the <schema> element). The convention for schema
130 * ids is to use a dotted name, similar in style to a D-Bus bus name,
131 * e.g. "org.gnome.SessionManager". In particular, if the settings are
132 * for a specific service that owns a D-Bus bus name, the D-Bus bus name
133 * and schema id should match. For schemas which deal with settings not
134 * associated with one named application, the id should not use
135 * StudlyCaps, e.g. "org.gnome.font-rendering".
137 * In addition to #GVariant types, keys can have types that have
138 * enumerated types. These can be described by a <choice>,
139 * <enum> or <flags> element, as seen in the
140 * [example][schema-enumerated]. The underlying type of such a key
141 * is string, but you can use g_settings_get_enum(), g_settings_set_enum(),
142 * g_settings_get_flags(), g_settings_set_flags() access the numeric values
143 * corresponding to the string value of enum and flags keys.
145 * An example for default value:
146 * |[
147 * <schemalist>
148 * <schema id="org.gtk.Test" path="/org/gtk/Test/" gettext-domain="test">
150 * <key name="greeting" type="s">
151 * <default l10n="messages">"Hello, earthlings"</default>
152 * <summary>A greeting</summary>
153 * <description>
154 * Greeting of the invading martians
155 * </description>
156 * </key>
158 * <key name="box" type="(ii)">
159 * <default>(20,30)</default>
160 * </key>
162 * </schema>
163 * </schemalist>
164 * ]|
166 * An example for ranges, choices and enumerated types:
167 * |[
168 * <schemalist>
170 * <enum id="org.gtk.Test.myenum">
171 * <value nick="first" value="1"/>
172 * <value nick="second" value="2"/>
173 * </enum>
175 * <flags id="org.gtk.Test.myflags">
176 * <value nick="flag1" value="1"/>
177 * <value nick="flag2" value="2"/>
178 * <value nick="flag3" value="4"/>
179 * </flags>
181 * <schema id="org.gtk.Test">
183 * <key name="key-with-range" type="i">
184 * <range min="1" max="100"/>
185 * <default>10</default>
186 * </key>
188 * <key name="key-with-choices" type="s">
189 * <choices>
190 * <choice value='Elisabeth'/>
191 * <choice value='Annabeth'/>
192 * <choice value='Joe'/>
193 * </choices>
194 * <aliases>
195 * <alias value='Anna' target='Annabeth'/>
196 * <alias value='Beth' target='Elisabeth'/>
197 * </aliases>
198 * <default>'Joe'</default>
199 * </key>
201 * <key name='enumerated-key' enum='org.gtk.Test.myenum'>
202 * <default>'first'</default>
203 * </key>
205 * <key name='flags-key' flags='org.gtk.Test.myflags'>
206 * <default>["flag1","flag2"]</default>
207 * </key>
208 * </schema>
209 * </schemalist>
210 * ]|
212 * ## Vendor overrides
214 * Default values are defined in the schemas that get installed by
215 * an application. Sometimes, it is necessary for a vendor or distributor
216 * to adjust these defaults. Since patching the XML source for the schema
217 * is inconvenient and error-prone,
218 * [glib-compile-schemas][glib-compile-schemas] reads so-called vendor
219 * override' files. These are keyfiles in the same directory as the XML
220 * schema sources which can override default values. The schema id serves
221 * as the group name in the key file, and the values are expected in
222 * serialized GVariant form, as in the following example:
223 * |[
224 * [org.gtk.Example]
225 * key1='string'
226 * key2=1.5
227 * ]|
229 * glib-compile-schemas expects schema files to have the extension
230 * `.gschema.override`.
232 * ## Binding
234 * A very convenient feature of GSettings lets you bind #GObject properties
235 * directly to settings, using g_settings_bind(). Once a GObject property
236 * has been bound to a setting, changes on either side are automatically
237 * propagated to the other side. GSettings handles details like mapping
238 * between GObject and GVariant types, and preventing infinite cycles.
240 * This makes it very easy to hook up a preferences dialog to the
241 * underlying settings. To make this even more convenient, GSettings
242 * looks for a boolean property with the name "sensitivity" and
243 * automatically binds it to the writability of the bound setting.
244 * If this 'magic' gets in the way, it can be suppressed with the
245 * #G_SETTINGS_BIND_NO_SENSITIVITY flag.
247 * ## Relocatable schemas # {#gsettings-relocatable}
249 * A relocatable schema is one with no `path` attribute specified on its
250 * <schema> element. By using g_settings_new_with_path(), a #GSettings object
251 * can be instantiated for a relocatable schema, assigning a path to the
252 * instance. Paths passed to g_settings_new_with_path() will typically be
253 * constructed dynamically from a constant prefix plus some form of instance
254 * identifier; but they must still be valid GSettings paths. Paths could also
255 * be constant and used with a globally installed schema originating from a
256 * dependency library.
258 * For example, a relocatable schema could be used to store geometry information
259 * for different windows in an application. If the schema ID was
260 * `org.foo.MyApp.Window`, it could be instantiated for paths
261 * `/org/foo/MyApp/main/`, `/org/foo/MyApp/document-1/`,
262 * `/org/foo/MyApp/document-2/`, etc. If any of the paths are well-known
263 * they can be specified as <child> elements in the parent schema, e.g.:
264 * |[
265 * <schema id="org.foo.MyApp" path="/org/foo/MyApp/">
266 * <child name="main" schema="org.foo.MyApp.Window"/>
267 * </schema>
268 * ]|
270 * ## Build system integration # {#gsettings-build-system}
272 * GSettings comes with autotools integration to simplify compiling and
273 * installing schemas. To add GSettings support to an application, add the
274 * following to your `configure.ac`:
275 * |[
276 * GLIB_GSETTINGS
277 * ]|
279 * In the appropriate `Makefile.am`, use the following snippet to compile and
280 * install the named schema:
281 * |[
282 * gsettings_SCHEMAS = org.foo.MyApp.gschema.xml
283 * EXTRA_DIST = $(gsettings_SCHEMAS)
285 * @GSETTINGS_RULES@
286 * ]|
288 * No changes are needed to the build system to mark a schema XML file for
289 * translation. Assuming it sets the `gettext-domain` attribute, a schema may
290 * be marked for translation by adding it to `POTFILES.in`, assuming gettext
291 * 0.19 is in use (the preferred method for translation):
292 * |[
293 * data/org.foo.MyApp.gschema.xml
294 * ]|
296 * Alternatively, if intltool 0.50.1 is in use:
297 * |[
298 * [type: gettext/gsettings]data/org.foo.MyApp.gschema.xml
299 * ]|
301 * GSettings will use gettext to look up translations for the <summary> and
302 * <description> elements, and also any <default> elements which have a `l10n`
303 * attribute set. Translations must not be included in the `.gschema.xml` file
304 * by the build system, for example by using intltool XML rules with a
305 * `.gschema.xml.in` template.
307 * If an enumerated type defined in a C header file is to be used in a GSettings
308 * schema, it can either be defined manually using an <enum> element in the
309 * schema XML, or it can be extracted automatically from the C header. This
310 * approach is preferred, as it ensures the two representations are always
311 * synchronised. To do so, add the following to the relevant `Makefile.am`:
312 * |[
313 * gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.foo.MyApp
314 * gsettings_ENUM_FILES = my-app-enums.h my-app-misc.h
315 * ]|
317 * `gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE` specifies the schema namespace for the enum files,
318 * which are specified in `gsettings_ENUM_FILES`. This will generate a
319 * `org.foo.MyApp.enums.xml` file containing the extracted enums, which will be
320 * automatically included in the schema compilation, install and uninstall
321 * rules. It should not be committed to version control or included in
322 * `EXTRA_DIST`.
326 * GSettings:
328 * #GSettings is an opaque data structure and can only be accessed
329 * using the following functions.
