gsettings: Display all keys and values (default if not set) from one schema.
$ gsettings list-recursively ${org-example-schema}
try on your machine

The command "gsettings list-recursively ${org-example-schema}" is used in a Linux terminal to display the current values of all keys associated with the given schema.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "gsettings": This is a command-line tool used to view and modify settings in the GNOME desktop environment.
  • "list-recursively": This option tells gsettings to provide a recursive listing of all keys and their values.
  • "${org-example-schema}": This is a placeholder for the actual schema name or path. The schema is a predefined set of keys that belong to a particular group or organization. You need to replace "${org-example-schema}" with the actual schema you want to list.

To use this command, replace "${org-example-schema}" with the relevant schema name or path. For example, if you have a schema named "org.gnome.desktop.background", the command would look like this:

"gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.background"

Executing this command will display a list of all the keys and their corresponding values defined within the specified schema.
