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 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.

                                                                           GLIB-COMPILE-SCHEMAS()
