glib-compile-schemas considers XDG_DATA_HOME in addition to XDG_DATA_DIRS since GLib 2.53.2, but this is not mentioned in its manual and might bring confusion to readers.

GSettings schema compiler

SYNOPSIS
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
| **glib-compile-schemas** [*OPTION*…] *DIRECTORY*
|
||
|
||
DESCRIPTION
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
``glib-compile-schemas`` compiles all the GSettings XML schema files in
|
||
``DIRECTORY`` into a binary file with the name ``gschemas.compiled`` that can be
|
||
used by ``GSettings``. The XML schema files must have the filename extension
|
||
``.gschema.xml``. For a detailed description of the XML file format, see the
|
||
``GSettings`` documentation.
|
||
|
||
At runtime, GSettings looks for schemas in the ``glib-2.0/schemas``
|
||
subdirectories of all directories specified in the ``XDG_DATA_DIRS`` and
|
||
``XDG_DATA_HOME`` environment variables. The usual location to install schema
|
||
files is ``/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas``.
|
||
|
||
In addition to schema files, ``glib-compile-schemas`` reads ‘vendor override’
|
||
files, which are key files that can override default values for keys in
|
||
the schemas. The group names in the key files are the schema ID, and the
|
||
values are written in serialized GVariant form.
|
||
Vendor override files must have the filename extension
|
||
``.gschema.override``.
|
||
|
||
By convention, vendor override files begin with ``nn_`` where ``nn`` is a number
|
||
from 00 to 99. Higher numbered files have higher priority (e.g. if the same
|
||
override is made in a file numbered 10 and then again in a file numbered 20, the
|
||
override from 20 will take precedence).
|
||
|
||
OPTIONS
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
``-h``, ``--help``
|
||
|
||
Print help and exit.
|
||
|
||
``--version``
|
||
|
||
Print program version and exit.
|
||
|
||
``--targetdir <TARGET>``
|
||
|
||
Store ``gschemas.compiled`` in the ``TARGET`` directory instead of
|
||
``DIRECTORY``.
|
||
|
||
``--strict``
|
||
|
||
Abort on any errors in schemas. Without this option, faulty schema files are
|
||
simply omitted from the resulting compiled schema.
|
||
|
||
``--dry-run``
|
||
|
||
Don’t write ``gschemas.compiled``. This option can be used to check
|
||
``.gschema.xml`` sources for errors.
|
||
|
||
``--allow-any-name``
|
||
|
||
Do not enforce restrictions on key names. Note that this option is purely
|
||
to facility the transition from GConf, and will be removed at some time
|
||
in the future. |
