]
The dconf program can perform various operations on a dconf database, such as reading or writing individual values or entire directories. This tool operates directly on the dconf database and does not read gsettings schema information. Therefore, it cannot perform type and consistency checks on values. The gsettings(1) utility is an alternative if such checks are needed.
The DIR
arguments must be directory paths (starting and ending with '/'), the
KEY
arguments must be key paths (starting, but not ending with '/') and the
PATH
arguments can be either directory or key paths.
VALUE
arguments must be in GVariant format, so e.g. a string must include
explicit quotes: "'foo'". This format is also used when printing out values.
