A GConfEngine represents a connection to the GConf database. The
default GConfEngine, returned from gconf_engine_get_default()
, represents the
user's normal configuration source search path. Configuration-related
utilities, such as a configuration editor tool, might wish to access a
particular configuration source directly; they can obtain a
non-default GConfEngine with gconf_engine_get_for_address()
.
Once you have a GConfEngine, you can query and manipulate configuration values.
GConfEngine *
gconf_engine_get_default (void
);
Returns the default GConfEngine. All clients should use this, unless
they are special configuration-related tools. The caller of this
function assumes one reference count, and must call
gconf_engine_unref()
at some point. It's fairly important to unref the
GConfEngine, to cleanly close the connection to
before exiting your application.

GConfEngine * gconf_engine_get_for_address (const gchar *address
,GError **err
);
Obtains a special GConfEngine; mostly useful for specialized
GConf-related tools. Normal clients shouldn't need to use it.
As with gconf_engine_get_default()
, the returned GConfEngine should be
unreferenced by the caller of this function.
GConfEngine * gconf_engine_get_for_addresses (GSList *addresses
,GError **err
);
Similar to gconf_engine_get_for_address()
, but takes a list of addresses
instead of a single address.
addresses |
a list of configuration addresses. |
|
err |
the return location for an allocated GError, or NULL to ignore errors. |

void
gconf_engine_unref (GConfEngine *conf
);
Decreases the reference count of a GConfEngine by one; if the reference count reaches 0, destroys the GConfEngine.
void
gconf_engine_ref (GConfEngine *conf
);
Increases the reference count of a GConfEngine by one.
GConfEngine * gconf_engine_get_local (const char *address
,GError **err
);
Obtain a local (non-process-transparent) GConfEngine. Local engines do not support notification, and can only access config databases directly (they do not use the multiple sources in a path system supported by nonlocal engines).
GConfEngine * gconf_engine_get_local_for_addresses (GSList *addresses
,GError **err
);
Obtains a local GConfEngine similar to gconf_engine_get_local()
.
Instead of taking the address of the local database, this function takes
the addresses of the sources and gets the GConfSources using gconf_sources_new_from_addresses()
.
addresses |
a list of addresses of GConfSources. |

the return location for an allocated GError, or NULL to ignore errors. |

void gconf_engine_set_user_data (GConfEngine *engine
,gpointer data
,GDestroyNotify dnotify
);
Sets the user_data and the destroy notification function fields of a GConfEngine.
engine |
a GConfEngine. |
|
data |
a gpointer. |
|
dnotify |
a pointer to the function to be called during destroy. |
gpointer
gconf_engine_get_user_data (GConfEngine *engine
);
Returns the user_data field of a GConfEngine.
