Name

   xdg-settings -- get various settings from the desktop
   environment

Synopsis

   xdg-settings { get | check | set } {property} [subproperty]
   [value]

   xdg-settings { --help | --list | --manual | --version }

Description

   xdg-settings gets various settings from the desktop
   environment. For instance, desktop environments often provide
   proxy configuration and default web browser settings. Using
   xdg-settings these parameters can be extracted for use by
   applications that do not use the desktop environment's
   libraries (which would use the settings natively).

   xdg-settings is for use inside a desktop session only. It is
   not recommended to use xdg-settings as root.

Options

   --help
          Show command synopsis.

   --list
          List all properties xdg-settings knows about.

   --manual
          Show this manual page.

   --version
          Show the xdg-utils version information.

Properties

   When using xdg-settings to get, check or set a destkop setting,
   properties and possibly sub-properties are used to specify the
   setting to be changed.

   Some properties (such as default-web-browser) fully describe
   the setting to be changed. Other properties (such as
   default-url-scheme-handler) require more information (in this
   case the actual scheme to set the default handler for) which
   must be provided in a sub-property.

Exit Codes

   An exit code of 0 indicates success while a non-zero exit code
   indicates failure. The following failure codes can be returned:

   1
          Error in command line syntax.

   2
          One of the files passed on the command line did not
          exist.

   3
          A required tool could not be found.

   4
          The action failed.

Examples

   Get the desktop file name of the current default web browser
        xdg-settings get default-web-browser

   Check whether the default web browser is firefox.desktop, which
   can be false even if "get default-web-browser" says that is the
   current value (if only some of the underlying settings actually
   reflect that value)
        xdg-settings check default-web-browser firefox.desktop

   Set the default web browser to google-chrome.desktop
        xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop

   Set the default mailto URL scheme handler to be
   evolution.desktop
        xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler mailto evolution.des
