Struct gio::SettingsBackend

pub struct SettingsBackend { /* private fields */ }

The SettingsBackend interface defines a generic interface for non-strictly-typed data that is stored in a hierarchy. To implement an alternative storage backend for Settings, you need to implement the SettingsBackend interface and then make it implement the extension point SETTINGS_BACKEND_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME.

The interface defines methods for reading and writing values, a method for determining if writing of certain values will fail (lockdown) and a change notification mechanism.

The semantics of the interface are very precisely defined and implementations must carefully adhere to the expectations of callers that are documented on each of the interface methods.

Some of the SettingsBackend functions accept or return a GTree. These trees always have strings as keys and glib::Variant as values. g_settings_backend_create_tree() is a convenience function to create suitable trees.

The SettingsBackend API is exported to allow third-party implementations, but does not carry the same stability guarantees as the public GIO API. For this reason, you have to define the C preprocessor symbol G_SETTINGS_ENABLE_BACKEND before including gio/gsettingsbackend.h.

This is an Abstract Base Class, you cannot instantiate it.

Implementations

impl SettingsBackend

pub const NONE: Option<&'static SettingsBackend> = None

pub fn default() -> SettingsBackend

Returns the default SettingsBackend. It is possible to override the default by setting the GSETTINGS_BACKEND environment variable to the name of a settings backend.

The user gets a reference to the backend.

Returns

the default SettingsBackend, which will be a dummy (memory) settings backend if no other settings backend is available.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for SettingsBackend

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for SettingsBackend

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for SettingsBackend

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl HasParamSpec for SettingsBackend

type ParamSpec = ParamSpecObject

type SetValue = SettingsBackend

Preferred value to be used as setter for the associated ParamSpec.

type BuilderFn = fn(_: &str) -> ParamSpecObjectBuilder<'_, SettingsBackend>

fn param_spec_builder() -> Self::BuilderFn

impl Hash for SettingsBackend

fn hash<H>(&self, state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher,

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for SettingsBackend

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized + PartialOrd,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl ParentClassIs for SettingsBackend

type Parent = Object

impl<OT: ObjectType> PartialEq<OT> for SettingsBackend

fn eq(&self, other: &OT) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl<OT: ObjectType> PartialOrd<OT> for SettingsBackend

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &OT) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl StaticType for SettingsBackend

fn static_type() -> Type

Returns the type identifier of Self.
