DESCRIPTION
       gsettings  offers  a simple commandline interface to GSettings. It lets
       you get,	set or monitor an individual key for changes.

       The SCHEMA and KEY 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 :PATH suffix. Specifying the path is only  needed  if
       the schema does not have	a fixed	path.

       When  setting  a	key, you also need specify a VALUE. The	format for the
       value is	that of	a serialized GVariant, so e.g. a string	 must  include
       explicit	quotes:	'foo'. This format is also used	when printing out val-
       ues.

       Note  that  gsettings  needs  a	D-Bus  session bus connection to write
       changes to the dconf database.

COMMANDS
       get
	  Gets the value of KEY. The value is  printed	out  as	 a  serialized
	  GVariant.

       monitor
	  Monitors KEY for changes and prints the changed values. If no	KEY is
	  specified,  all  keys	 in  the schema	are monitored. Monitoring will
	  continue until the process is	terminated.

       writable
	  Finds	out whether KEY	is writable.

       range
	  Queries the range of valid values for	KEY.

       describe
	  Queries the description of valid values for KEY.

       set
	  Sets the value of KEY	to VALUE. The value is specified as a  serial-
	  ized GVariant.

       reset
	  Resets KEY to	its default value.

       reset-recursively
	  Reset	all keys under the given SCHEMA.

       list-schemas
	  Lists	 the  installed,  non-relocatable  schemas.  See list-relocat-
	  able-schemas if  you	are  interested	 in  relocatable  schemas.  If
	  --print-paths	is given, the path where each schema is	mapped is also
	  printed.

       list-relocatable-schemas
	  Lists	 the  installed,  relocatable schemas. See list-schemas	if you
	  are interested in non-relocatable schemas.

       list-keys
	  Lists	the keys in SCHEMA.

       list-children
	  Lists	the children of	SCHEMA.

       list-recursively
	  Lists	keys and values, recursively. If no SCHEMA is given, list keys
	  in all schemas.

       help
	  Prints help and exits.
