40 * @short_description: High-level API for application settings
42 * The #GSettings class provides a convenient API for storing and retrieving
43 * application settings.
45 * Reads and writes can be considered to be non-blocking. Reading
46 * settings with #GSettings is typically extremely fast: on
47 * approximately the same order of magnitude (but slower than) a
48 * #GHashTable lookup. Writing settings is also extremely fast in terms
49 * of time to return to your application, but can be extremely expensive
50 * for other threads and other processes. Many settings backends
51 * (including dconf) have lazy initialisation which means in the common
52 * case of the user using their computer without modifying any settings
53 * a lot of work can be avoided. For dconf, the D-Bus service doesn't
54 * even need to be started in this case. For this reason, you should
55 * only ever modify #GSettings keys in response to explicit user action.
56 * Particular care should be paid to ensure that modifications are not
57 * made during startup -- for example, when setting the initial value
58 * of preferences widgets. The built-in g_settings_bind() functionality
59 * is careful not to write settings in response to notify signals as a
60 * result of modifications that it makes to widgets.
62 * When creating a GSettings instance, you have to specify a schema
63 * that describes the keys in your settings and their types and default
64 * values, as well as some other information.
66 * Normally, a schema has as fixed path that determines where the settings
67 * are stored in the conceptual global tree of settings. However, schemas
68 * can also be 'relocatable', i.e. not equipped with 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 * <tag class="attribute">gettext-domain</tag> attribute of the
91 * <tag class="starttag">schemalist</tag> or <tag class="starttag">schema</tag>
92 * elements and the category that is specified in the l10n attribute of the
93 * <tag class="starttag">key</tag> element.
95 * GSettings uses schemas in a compact binary form that is created
96 * by the <link linkend="glib-compile-schemas">glib-compile-schemas</link>
97 * utility. The input is a schema description in an XML format that can be
98 * described by the following DTD:
99 * |[<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>]|
101 * glib-compile-schemas expects schema files to have the extension <filename>.gschema.xml</filename>
103 * At runtime, schemas are identified by their id (as specified
104 * in the <tag class="attribute">id</tag> attribute of the
105 * <tag class="starttag">schema</tag> element). The
106 * convention for schema ids is to use a dotted name, similar in
107 * style to a D-Bus bus name, e.g. "org.gnome.SessionManager". In particular,
108 * if the settings are for a specific service that owns a D-Bus bus name,
109 * the D-Bus bus name and schema id should match. For schemas which deal
110 * with settings not associated with one named application, the id should
111 * not use StudlyCaps, e.g. "org.gnome.font-rendering".
113 * In addition to #GVariant types, keys can have types that have enumerated
114 * types. These can be described by a <tag class="starttag">choice</tag>,
115 * <tag class="starttag">enum</tag> or <tag class="starttag">flags</tag> element, see
116 * <xref linkend="schema-enumerated"/>. The underlying type of
117 * such a key is string, but you can use g_settings_get_enum(),
118 * g_settings_set_enum(), g_settings_get_flags(), g_settings_set_flags()
119 * access the numeric values corresponding to the string value of enum
122 * <example id="schema-default-values"><title>Default values</title>

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

707 * appropriate to use the "writable-changed" signal.
709 * In the event that the writability change applies only to a single
710 * key, @key will be set to the #GQuark for that key. In the event
711 * that the writability change affects the entire settings object,
714 * The default handler for this signal invokes the "writable-changed"
715 * and "changed" signals for each affected key. This is done because
716 * changes in writability might also imply changes in value (if for
717 * example, a new mandatory setting is introduced). If any other
718 * connected handler returns %TRUE then this default functionality
