gsettings-schema-convert

gsettings-schema-convert [option...] {file}

gsettings-schema-convert converts between GConf and GSettings schema file formats. Note that the conversion is not expected to be fully automated. You are expected to verify and edit the result of the conversion.

Note that GSettings schemas need to be converted into binary form with glib-compile-schemas before they can be used by applications.

-f, --force

-g, --gconf

The input file is a GConf schema.

-s, --simple

Produce a GSettings schema in simple format. The simple format is easier to edit and can be converted into the XML format with gsettings-schema-convert later on.

-x, --xml

-i ID, --schema-id=ID

Use ID as the schema id in the generated GSettings schema.

-d DOMAIN, --gettext-domain=DOMAIN

Use DOMAIN as the gettext domain in the generated GSettings schema.
