dconf-write:tldr:51f52
The command dconf write ${-path-to-key} "${value}"
is used to modify a dconf key in the dconf database.
Here's what each part of the command means:
-
dconf
: It is a command-line tool for interacting with dconf, which is a low-level key-value database in Linux used to store user settings. -
write
: It is an action performed by thedconf
tool, which allows you to modify the value of a specific key in the dconf database. -
${-path-to-key}
: It represents the path to the key you want to modify. You need to replace${-path-to-key}
with the actual path to the desired key in the dconf database. For example, if you want to modify the key located atorg/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-enabled
, you would replace${-path-to-key}
withorg/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/color/night-light-enabled
. -
"${value}"
: It represents the value you want to set for the specified key. You need to replace${value}
with the actual value you want to assign to the key. The value must be enclosed in double quotes.
Once you provide the actual path to the key and the desired value, the dconf
tool will modify the key's value in the dconf database accordingly.
