GConf extends the concept of a configuration registry. It provides
|
|
a simple way for applications and administrators to store data;
|
|
often GConf is used to store preferences for applications.
|
|
|
|
Some of the features of GConf are:
|
|
|
|
* Documentation for each configuration key, so that administrators
|
|
can better modify the value.
|
|
|
|
* Notifications to interested applications when configuration data
|
|
is changed. The notification service works across networks,
|
|
affecting all login sessions for a single user.
|
|
|
|
* Proper locking so that configuration data doesn't get corrupted
|
|
when accessed by multiple applications at the same time.
