DESCRIPTION
       gsettings  offers  a simple commandline interface to GSettings. It lets you get, set or monitor an individual key for
       changes.

       The SCHEMA and KEY arguments are required for most commands to specify the schema ID and the name of the key to oper‐
       ate on. The schema ID may optionally have a :PATH suffix. Specifying the path is only needed if the schema  does	 not
       have a fixed path.

       When setting a key, you also need specify a VALUE. The format for the value is that of a serialized GVariant, so e.g.
       a string must include explicit quotes: 'foo'. This format is also used when printing out values.

       Note that gsettings needs a D-Bus session bus connection to write changes to the dconf database.

COMMANDS
       get
	  Gets the value of KEY. The value is printed out as a serialized GVariant.

       monitor
	  Monitors  KEY	 for changes and prints the changed values. If no KEY is specified, all keys in the schema are moni‐
	  tored. Monitoring will continue until the process is terminated.

       writable
	  Finds out whether KEY is writable.

       range
	  Queries the range of valid values for KEY.

       describe
	  Queries the description of valid values for KEY.

       set
	  Sets the value of KEY to VALUE. The value is specified as a serialized GVariant.

       reset
	  Resets KEY to its default value.

       reset-recursively
	  Reset all keys under the given SCHEMA.

       list-schemas
	  Lists the installed, non-relocatable schemas. See list-relocatable-schemas if you are	 interested  in	 relocatable
	  schemas. If --print-paths is given, the path where each schema is mapped is also printed.

       list-relocatable-schemas
	  Lists the installed, relocatable schemas. See list-schemas if you are interested in non-relocatable schemas.

       list-keys
	  Lists the keys in SCHEMA.

       list-children
	  Lists the children of SCHEMA.

       list-recursively
	  Lists keys and values, recursively. If no SCHEMA is given, list keys in all schemas.

       help
	  Prints help and exits.
