Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<SettingsSchemaSource> Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::create	(	const std::string &	directory,
		bool	trusted,
		const Glib::RefPtr< SettingsSchemaSource >&	parent = `get_default()`
	)

static

Attempts to create a new schema source corresponding to the contents of the given directory.

This function is not required for normal uses of Settings 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 is true then gschemas.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 set trusted to true for files installed by the system and to false for files in the home directory.

In either case, an empty file or some types of corruption in the file will result in Glib::FileError::INVALID_ARGUMENT being returned.

If parent is non-nullptr then there are two effects.

First, if g_settings_schema_source_lookup() is called with the recursive flag set to true 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 or extends) references may be resolved from the parent.

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().

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

directory	The filename of a directory.
parent	A SettingsSchemaSource, or `nullptr`.
trusted	`true`, if the directory is trusted.

Exceptions

Glib::Error

static Glib::RefPtr<SettingsSchemaSource> Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::get_default ( )

static

Gets the default system schema source.

This function is not required for normal uses of Settings 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, nullptr 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 and GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR. For this reason, all lookups performed against the default source should probably be done recursively.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Returns: The default schema source.

GSettingsSchemaSource* Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::gobj ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

const GSettingsSchemaSource* Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::gobj ( ) const

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GSettingsSchemaSource* Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::gobj_copy ( ) const

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

std::vector<Glib::ustring> Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::list_schemas	(	bool	relocatable,
		bool	recursive
	)		const

Lists the schemas in a given source.

Do not call this function from normal programs. It is designed for use by database editors, commandline tools, etc.

Since glibmm 2.64:

Parameters

relocatable	Whether you want the list of relocatable schemas (`true`) or the list of non-relocatable schemas (`false`) for this source. Non-relocatable schemas are those for which you can call Gio::Settings::create() without specifying a path. Relocatable schemas are those for which you must pass a path to Gio::Settings::create().
recursive	If `true`, the list will include parent sources. If `false`, it will only include the schemas from one source (i.e. one directory). You probably want to recurse.

Returns: a vector of the names of the schemas matching the given parameters.

Glib::RefPtr<SettingsSchema> Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::lookup	(	const Glib::ustring&	schema_id,
		bool	recursive
	)

Looks up a schema with the identifier schema_id in source.

This function is not required for normal uses of Settings 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 source and recursive is true then the parent sources will also be checked.

If the schema isn't found, nullptr is returned.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

schema_id	A schema ID.
recursive	`true` if the lookup should be recursive.

Returns: A new SettingsSchema.

Glib::RefPtr<const SettingsSchema> Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::lookup	(	const Glib::ustring&	schema_id,
		bool	recursive
	)		const

Looks up a schema with the identifier schema_id in source.

This function is not required for normal uses of Settings 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 source and recursive is true then the parent sources will also be checked.

If the schema isn't found, nullptr is returned.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

schema_id	A schema ID.
recursive	`true` if the lookup should be recursive.

Returns: A new SettingsSchema.

void Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::operator delete	(	void *	,
		std::size_t
	)

protected

SettingsSchemaSource& Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::operator= ( const SettingsSchemaSource& )

delete

void Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::reference ( ) const

Increment the reference count for this object.

You should never need to do this manually - use the object via a RefPtr instead.

void Gio::SettingsSchemaSource::unreference ( ) const

Decrement the reference count for this object.

You should never need to do this manually - use the object via a RefPtr instead.

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::SettingsSchemaSource > wrap	(	GSettingsSchemaSource *	object,
		bool	take_copy = `false`
	)

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

object	The C instance.
take_copy	False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns: A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
