<a name="DConfClient.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>This is the primary client interface to dconf.</p>
<p>It allows applications to directly read from and write to the dconf
database. Applications can subscribe to change notifications.</p>
<p>Most applications probably don't want to access dconf directly and
would be better off using something like <span class="type">GSettings</span>.</p>
<p>Please note that the API of libdconf is not stable in any way. It
has changed in incompatible ways in the past and there will be
further changes in the future.</p>

<p>This signal is emitted when the <a href="DConfClient.html"><span class="type">DConfClient</span></a> has a possible change
to report. The signal is an indication that a change may have
occurred; it's possible that the keys will still have the same value
as before.</p>
<p>To ensure that you receive notification about changes to paths that
you are interested in you must call <a href="DConfClient.html#dconf-client-watch-fast"><code class="function">dconf_client_watch_fast()</code></a> or
<a href="DConfClient.html#dconf-client-watch-sync"><code class="function">dconf_client_watch_sync()</code></a>. You may still receive notifications for
paths that you did not explicitly watch.</p>
<p><em class="parameter"><code>prefix</code></em>
will be an absolute dconf path; see <a href="dconf-dconf-Paths.html#dconf-is-path"><code class="function">dconf_is_path()</code></a>.
<em class="parameter"><code>changes</code></em>
is a <code class="literal">NULL</code>-terminated array of dconf rel paths; see
<a href="dconf-dconf-Paths.html#dconf-is-rel-path"><code class="function">dconf_is_rel_path()</code></a>.</p>
<p><em class="parameter"><code>tag</code></em>
is an opaque tag string, or <code class="literal">NULL</code>. The only thing you should
do with <em class="parameter"><code>tag</code></em>
is to compare it to tag values returned by
<a href="DConfClient.html#dconf-client-write-sync"><code class="function">dconf_client_write_sync()</code></a> or <a href="DConfClient.html#dconf-client-change-sync"><code class="function">dconf_client_change_sync()</code></a>.</p>
<p>The number of changes being reported is equal to the length of
<em class="parameter"><code>changes</code></em>
. Appending each item in <em class="parameter"><code>changes</code></em>
to <em class="parameter"><code>prefix</code></em>
will give the
absolute path of each changed item.</p>
<p>If a single key has changed then <em class="parameter"><code>prefix</code></em>
will be equal to the key
and <em class="parameter"><code>changes</code></em>
will contain a single item: the empty string.</p>
<p>If a single dir has changed (indicating that any key under the dir
may have changed) then <em class="parameter"><code>prefix</code></em>
will be equal to the dir and
<em class="parameter"><code>changes</code></em>
will contain a single empty string.</p>
