Xfconf is a hierarchical (tree-like) configuration system
where the immediate child nodes of the root are called
channels.
All settings beneath the channel nodes are called properties.
Valid channel and property names are composed of the ASCII
US-English uppercase characters A-Z, lowercase characters a-z,
numerals 0-9, the dash (-), and underscore (_).
No other characters are allowed for channel names.
The less than (<) and greater than (>) characters
(aka angle brackets) are also allowed in property names,
but not in channel names.
Property names are referenced by their full path underneath
their channel, for example: /main/history-window/last-accessed.
Of course, when querying a particular property, the channel
must be specified separately as well.
Both channel and property names are case-insensitive. |
