Name
       glib-compile-schemas - GSettings schema compiler

SYNOPSIS
       glib-compile-schemas [OPTION…] DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION
       glib-compile-schemas  compiles  all  the	 GSettings  XML	 schema	 files in DIRECTORY into a binary file with the name
       gschemas.compiled that can be used by GSettings. The XML schema files must have the filename extension  .gschema.xml.
       For a detailed description of the XML file format, see the GSettings documentation.

       At  runtime,  GSettings	looks for schemas in the glib-2.0/schemas subdirectories of all directories specified in the
       XDG_DATA_DIRS  and  XDG_DATA_HOME  environment  variables.  The	usual  location	  to   install	 schema	  files	  is
       /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas.

       In  addition  to schema files, glib-compile-schemas reads ‘vendor override’ files, which are key files that can over‐
       ride default values for keys in the schemas. The group names in the key files are the schema ID, and the	 values	 are
       written in serialized GVariant form.  Vendor override files must have the filename extension .gschema.override.

       By  convention,	vendor override files begin with nn_ where nn is a number from 00 to 99.  Higher numbered files have
       higher priority (e.g. if the same override is made in a file numbered 10 and then again in a file  numbered  20,	 the
       override from 20 will take precedence).

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	  Print help and exit.

       --version
	  Print program version and exit.

       --targetdir 
	  Store gschemas.compiled in the TARGET directory instead of DIRECTORY.

       --strict
	  Abort	 on  any  errors  in schemas. Without this option, faulty schema files are simply omitted from the resulting
	  compiled schema.

       --dry-run
	  Don’t write gschemas.compiled. This option can be used to check .gschema.xml sources for errors.

       --allow-any-name
	  Do not enforce restrictions on key names. Note that this option is purely to facility the transition	from  GConf,
	  and will be removed at some time in the future.
