NAME

       Gnome2::GConf::Schema -  Schema Objects for key description

SYNOPSIS

         $client->set_schema($key, {
               owner           => 'some_program',
               short_desc      => 'Some key.',
               long_desc       => 'A key that does something to some_program.',
               locale          => 'C',
               type            => 'int',
               default_value => { type => 'int', value => 42 }
         });
         $description{'short'} = $client->get_schema($key)->{short_desc};

DESCRIPTION

       In C, "GConfSchema" is an opaque type for a "schema", that is a collection of useful
       information about a key/value pair. It may contain a description of the key, a default
       value, the program which owns the key, etc.

       In perl, it is represented using an hashref containing any of these keys:

       type
           The type of the value the key points to.  It's similar to the corresponding 'type' key
           of "GConfValue", but it explicitly tags lists and pairs using the 'list' and 'pair'
           types (the 'type' key is just an indication of what should be expected inside the
           "default_value" field).

       default_value
           The default value of the key.  In C, this should be a "GConfValue", so, in perl, it
           becomes an hashref (see Gnome2::GConf::Value)

       short_desc
           A string containing a short description (a phrase, no more) of the key.

       long_desc
           A string containing a longer description (a paragraph or more) of the key.

       owner
           A string containing the name of the program which uses ('owns') the key to which the
           schema is bound.

       locale
           The locale for the three strings above (above strings are UTF-8, and the locale is
           needed for translations purposes).
