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.
