The command "gsettings list-recursively" is used to display a list of all key-value pairs for the GSettings configuration system on a Linux-based system.
Here's how it works:
-
"gsettings" is a command-line tool in Linux used to retrieve and manipulate application settings stored using the GSettings configuration system. It interacts with the dconf database where these settings are stored.
-
"list-recursively" is an option for the "gsettings" command that tells it to display all the key-value pairs stored in the dconf database.
When you run the command "gsettings list-recursively", the output will be a long list of all the settings and their values for the installed applications that use GSettings. Each line in the output will show the schema, key, and value of a particular setting.
For example, if you have an application called "com.example.app" with a setting called "example-setting", the output might look like:
com.example.app example-setting 'example-value'
This means that the setting "example-setting" in the schema "com.example.app" has a value of "example-value".
Using the "gsettings list-recursively" command can be helpful when you need to view and manage application settings in a Linux system.
