<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 <a href="/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/gio/GSettings.html#GSettings-struct"><span class="type">GSettings</span></a>.</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>To ensure that you receive notification about changes to paths that

<p><em class="parameter"><code>prefix</code></em>

<p>The number of changes being reported is equal to the length of
