dconf: Dump a specific directory in INI file format.
$ dconf dump ${-path-to-directory-}
try on your machine

The command "dconf dump ${-path-to-directory-}" is used to export all the key-value pairs stored in a dconf directory into a readable format.

Explanation of the command:

  • "dconf" refers to the dconf tool, which is a low-level configuration system used in Linux-based systems.
  • "dump" is the subcommand that is used to export the configuration.
  • "${-path-to-directory-}" is a placeholder for the actual path of the dconf directory you want to export. You need to replace this placeholder with the correct path. The path is specified using the forward slash (/) as a separator.

Once you execute this command with the appropriate path, it will display all the key-value pairs stored in the specified dconf directory.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
