NAME
glib-compile-schemas - 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
environment variable. 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 (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).
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.
SMF Management and IPS Packaging
In Oracle Solaris, the transient glib-compile-schemas service runs
glib-compile-schemas when necessary to update the gschemas.compiled
file with information about the installed GSettings XML schema and
vendor override files. An example of when the glib-compile-schemas
service runs is when a package that specifies the
svc:/application/desktop-cache/glib-compile-schemas service as the
value of a restart_fmri attribute on is being installed. A package that
installs a GSettings schema XML file should have such an attribute. See
the application/desktop-cache/glib-compile-schemas(8s) man page for
details about the glib-compile-schemas service. See the smf(7) man page
for information about the Oracle Solaris Service Management Facility.
