<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para><command>gsettings</command> offers a simple commandline
interface to <link linkend="GSettings"><type>GSettings</type></link>.
It lets you get, set or monitor an individual key for changes.
</para>
<para>
The <replaceable>SCHEMA</replaceable> and <replaceable>KEY</replaceable>
arguments are required for most commands to specify the schema id and the
name of the key to operate on. The schema id may optionally have a
:<replaceable>PATH</replaceable> suffix. Specifying the path is only needed
if the schema does not have a fixed path.
</para>
<para>
When setting a key, you also need specify a <replaceable>VALUE</replaceable>
The format for the value is that of a serialized
<link linkend="GVariant"><type>GVariant</type></link>,
so e.g. a string
must include explicit quotes: "'foo'". This format is also used when printing
out values.
</para>
<para>
Note that gsettings needs a D-Bus session bus connection to write changes to
the dconf database.
