fromDirectory
public static SettingsSchemaSource fromDirectory(String directory, @Nullable @Nullable SettingsSchemaSource parent, boolean trusted) throws GErrorException Attempts to create a new schema source corresponding to the contents of the given directory.This function is not required for normal uses of
GSettings
but it may be useful to authors of plugin management systems.The directory should contain a file called
gschemas.compiled
as produced by the [glib-compile-schemas][glib-compile-schemas] tool.If
trusted
istrue
thengschemas.compiled
is trusted not to be corrupted. This assumption has a performance advantage, but can result in crashes or inconsistent behaviour in the case of a corrupted file. Generally, you should settrusted
totrue
for files installed by the system and tofalse
for files in the home directory.In either case, an empty file or some types of corruption in the file will result in
FileError.INVAL
being returned.If
parent
is non-null
then there are two effects.First, if g_settings_schema_source_lookup() is called with the
recursive
flag set totrue
and the schema can not be found in the source, the lookup will recurse to the parent.Second, any references to other schemas specified within this source (ie:
child
orextends
) references may be resolved from theparent
.For this second reason, except in very unusual situations, the
parent
should probably be given as the default schema source, as returned by g_settings_schema_source_get_default().- Parameters:
directory
- the filename of a directoryparent
- aGSettingsSchemaSource
, ornull
trusted
-true
, if the directory is trusted- Throws:
GErrorException
- seeGError
-
getDefault
Gets the default system schema source.This function is not required for normal uses of
GSettings
but it may be useful to authors of plugin management systems or to those who want to introspect the content of schemas.If no schemas are installed,
null
will be returned.The returned source may actually consist of multiple schema sources from different directories, depending on which directories were given in
XDG_DATA_DIRS
andGSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR
. For this reason, all lookups performed against the default source should probably be done recursively.- Returns:
- the default schema source
-
listSchemas
Lists the schemas in a given source.If
recursive
istrue
then include parent sources. Iffalse
then only include the schemas from one source (ie: one directory). You probably wanttrue
.Non-relocatable schemas are those for which you can call g_settings_new(). Relocatable schemas are those for which you must use g_settings_new_with_path().
Do not call this function from normal programs. This is designed for use by database editors, commandline tools, etc.
- Parameters:
recursive
- if we should recursenonRelocatable
- the list of non-relocatable schemas, in no defined orderrelocatable
- the list of relocatable schemas, in no defined order
-
lookup
Looks up a schema with the identifierschemaId
in this SettingsSchemaSource.This function is not required for normal uses of
GSettings
but it may be useful to authors of plugin management systems or to those who want to introspect the content of schemas.If the schema isn't found directly in this SettingsSchemaSource and
recursive
istrue
then the parent sources will also be checked.If the schema isn't found,
null
is returned.- Parameters:
schemaId
- a schema IDrecursive
-true
if the lookup should be recursive- Returns:
- a new
GSettingsSchema
-
ref
Increase the reference count of this SettingsSchemaSource, returning a new reference.- Returns:
- a new reference to this SettingsSchemaSource
-
unref
public void unref()Decrease the reference count of this SettingsSchemaSource, possibly freeing it.
