GLIB-COMPILE-SCHEM(1)            User Commands           GLIB-COMPILE-SCHEM(1)

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.
