|
|
<para><command>glib-compile-schemas</command> compiles all the GSettings XML
|
|
schema files in <replaceable>DIRECTORY</replaceable> into a binary file
|
|
with the name <filename>gschemas.compiled</filename> that can be used
|
|
by <link linkend="GSettings"><type>GSettings</type></link>. The XML schema
|
|
files must have the filename extension <filename>.gschema.xml</filename>.
|
|
For a detailed description of the XML file format, see the
|
|
<link linkend="GSettings"><type>GSettings</type></link> documentation.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
At runtime, GSettings looks for schemas in the
|
|
<filename>glib-2.0/schemas</filename> subdirectories of all directories
|
|
specified in the <envar>XDG_DATA_DIRS</envar> environment variable. The
|
|
usual location to install schema files is
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas</filename>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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
|
|
<filename>.gschema.override</filename>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
By convention, vendor override files begin with <filename>nn_</filename>
|
|
where <filename>nn</filename> is a number from 00 to 99. Higher
|
|
numbered files have higher priority (eg: 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).
