-
SettingsSchemaKey
Create a SettingsSchemaKey proxy instance for the provided memory address.- Parameters:
address
- the memory address of the native object
-
-
Method Details
-
getType
-
getDefaultValue
Gets the default value for this SettingsSchemaKey.Note that this is the default value according to the schema. System administrator defaults and lockdown are not visible via this API.
- Returns:
- the default value for the key
-
getDescription
Gets the description for this SettingsSchemaKey.If no description has been provided in the schema for this SettingsSchemaKey, returns
null
.The description can be one sentence to several paragraphs in length. Paragraphs are delimited with a double newline. Descriptions can be translated and the value returned from this function is is the current locale.
This function is slow. The summary and description information for the schemas is not stored in the compiled schema database so this function has to parse all of the source XML files in the schema directory.
- Returns:
- the description for this SettingsSchemaKey, or
null
-
getName
Gets the name of this SettingsSchemaKey.- Returns:
- the name of this SettingsSchemaKey.
-
getRange
Queries the range of a key.This function will return a
GVariant
that fully describes the range of values that are valid for this SettingsSchemaKey.The type of
GVariant
returned is(sv)
. The string describes the type of range restriction in effect. The type and meaning of the value contained in the variant depends on the string.If the string is
'type'
then the variant contains an empty array. The element type of that empty array is the expected type of value and all values of that type are valid.If the string is
'enum'
then the variant contains an array enumerating the possible values. Each item in the array is a possible valid value and no other values are valid.If the string is
'flags'
then the variant contains an array. Each item in the array is a value that may appear zero or one times in an array to be used as the value for this key. For example, if the variant contained the array['x', 'y']
then the valid values for the key would be[]
,['x']
,['y']
,['x', 'y']
and['y', 'x']
.Finally, if the string is
'range'
then the variant contains a pair of like-typed values -- the minimum and maximum permissible values for this key.This information should not be used by normal programs. It is considered to be a hint for introspection purposes. Normal programs should already know what is permitted by their own schema. The format may change in any way in the future -- but particularly, new forms may be added to the possibilities described above.
You should free the returned value with g_variant_unref() when it is no longer needed.
- Returns:
- a
GVariant
describing the range
-
getSummary
Gets the summary for this SettingsSchemaKey.If no summary has been provided in the schema for this SettingsSchemaKey, returns
null
.The summary is a short description of the purpose of the key; usually one short sentence. Summaries can be translated and the value returned from this function is is the current locale.
This function is slow. The summary and description information for the schemas is not stored in the compiled schema database so this function has to parse all of the source XML files in the schema directory.
- Returns:
- the summary for this SettingsSchemaKey, or
null
-
getValueType
Gets theGVariantType
of this SettingsSchemaKey.- Returns:
- the type of this SettingsSchemaKey
-
rangeCheck
Checks if the givenvalue
is within the permitted range for this SettingsSchemaKey.It is a programmer error if
value
is not of the correct type — you must check for this first.- Parameters:
value
- the value to check- Returns:
true
ifvalue
is valid for this SettingsSchemaKey
-
ref
Increase the reference count of this SettingsSchemaKey, returning a new reference.- Returns:
- a new reference to this SettingsSchemaKey
-
unref
public void unref()Decrease the reference count of this SettingsSchemaKey, possibly freeing it.
