1 dconf is split into a large number of small modules. This is required
2 because of the client/server architecture as well as the wide variety of
3 situations that dconf is used in on the client side.
7 This code implements the GVDB file format used for the on-disk
8 database. GVDB is shared with a number of other users and lives in a
9 separate 'gvdb' module on git.gnome.org.
11 Changes should never be made to this directory. Instead, they should
12 be made against the 'gvdb' module and merged using git.
14 The code is split into a reader and a writer (builder).
16 This directory produces two libraries: libgvdb.a and libgvdb-shared.a.
17 They are exactly the same, except that libgvdb-shared.a was compiled
22 Sources in this directory are used in both the dconf-service and
23 client-side library implementations.
25 This directory produces two libraries: libdconf-common.a and
26 libdconf-common-shared.a. They are exactly the same, except that
27 libdconf-common-shared.a was compiled with -fPIC.
31 This directory contains most of the core logic for implementing the
34 The engine code requires (but does not contain) glue code for speaking
35 to D-Bus. All users of the engine must therefore include a module
36 that implements this glue.
38 The engine also requires gvdb.
40 This directory produces libdconf-engine.a and its -shared variant.
44 This directory contains the glue code for dconf over GDBus.
46 There are two implementations of this code: a threaded approach and an
47 approach based on GDBus filter functions. The threaded one is in use
48 by default, but both are built for testing purposes.
50 This directory produces a library for each backend:
51 libdconf-gdbus-thread.a and libdconf-gdbus-filter.a, plus their
56 This is the standard GObject client-side library used for direct access to
57 dconf. It uses the GDBus glue from the gdbus/ directory above.
59 This directory produces the libdconf.so shared library as well as
60 libdconf-client.a which is used for testing.
64 This is the GSettings backend for dconf. It also uses GDBus.
66 This directory produces the libdconfsettings.so GIOModule.
70 This directory contains a client-side library based on libdbus-1. It
71 also contains the D-Bus glue code for libdbus-1 (since it is the only
72 client-side library that is using it).
74 This directory produces the libdconf-dbus-1.so shared library.
76 It also produces libdconf-libdbus-1.a (containing the D-Bus glue) for
77 testing purposes, and its -shared variant.
81 This is the 'dconf' commandline tool. It uses the library from
86 This is the graphical dconf-editor. It also uses the client/ library.
90 This is the dconf-service required for any client side library to do
