32 * @short_description: utility functions to validate dconf paths
34 * Various places in the dconf API speak of "paths", "keys", "dirs" and
35 * relative versions of each of these. This file contains functions to
36 * check if a given string is a valid member of each of these classes
37 * and to report errors when a string is not.
39 * See each function in this section for a precise description of what
40 * makes a string a valid member of a given class.
