dconf: Watch a specific key/directory for changes.
$ dconf watch ${select}
try on your machine
The "dconf watch" command is used to monitor changes in the configuration settings of the dconf database.
The "${select}" part is a placeholder for a specific path in the dconf database that you want to monitor for changes. By replacing "${select}" with the actual path, you can specify the location in the database you want to watch.
For example, if you want to monitor changes in the "org.gnome.desktop.interface" path, you would use the following command:
dconf watch /org/gnome/desktop/interface
Once you run the command, it will continuously display any changes made to the specified path in the dconf database. This is useful for observing and tracking modifications made to system or application configurations in real-time.
