💖 Gnome2::Config 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because we are reading the manual page for Gnome2::Config — and yes, it lives in section 3 of the manual, the user contributed Perl documentation section, which is honestly where all the fun stuff hides. this whole page is just a big gorgeous list of methods. buckle up. 🦋

🎀 NAME 🎀

Gnome2::Config

that's it. that's the name. minimalist. iconic. periodt. 💅

✨ METHODS ✨

every single one of these is here, in order, no skips, no shortcuts. the <something> = at the front is what you get back, so read it like a little fortune cookie. 🍓

`boolean = Gnome2::Config->get_bool ($path)`

$path (string)

you pass it a $path, you get a boolean back. yes or no, bestie. 🫶

`boolean = Gnome2::Config::Private->get_bool ($path)`

$path (string)

same energy, but it's the Gnome2::Config::Private flavour. same $path, same boolean. ✨

`Gnome2::Config->set_bool ($path, $value)`

$path (string)
$value (boolean)

setting time. give it a $path and a $value that's a boolean and it's out of your hands. 💅

`Gnome2::Config::Private->set_bool ($path, $value)`

$path (string)
$value (boolean)

the Private twin of the one above. identical little arg list. 🌸

`list = Gnome2::Config->get_bool_with_default ($path)`

$path (string)

returns a boolean indicating whether the default was used and the actual value.

so you get a list, and that list is holding two things: the boolean that tells you whether the default got used, and the actual value itself. two-for-one, we love to see it. 💖

`list = Gnome2::Config::Private->get_bool_with_default ($path)`

$path (string)

Private version, same $path, same list coming back. 🎀

`Gnome2::Config->clean_file ($path)`

$path (string)

takes a $path. that's the whole vibe. 🧚

`Gnome2::Config::Private->clean_file ($path)`

$path (string)

and the Private one, also taking a $path. matched set, adorable. 🌈

`Gnome2::Config->clean_key ($path)`

$path (string)

one $path in, that's it. 🌸

`Gnome2::Config::Private->clean_key ($path)`

$path (string)

Private edition, one $path, no notes. 💜

`Gnome2::Config->clean_section ($path)`

$path (string)

you guessed it: a $path. ⭐

`Gnome2::Config::Private->clean_section ($path)`

$path (string)

Private version, a $path, and we move on. 🦋

`Gnome2::Config->drop_all`

no arguments. no $path. it just drops everything, bestie. 💀

`Gnome2::Config->drop_file ($path)`

$path (string)

this one wants a $path first. 🎀

`Gnome2::Config::Private->drop_file ($path)`

$path (string)

Private flavour, same single $path. ✨

`double = Gnome2::Config->get_float ($path)`

$path (string)

give a $path, receive a double. decimals girlies rise. 🔥

`double = Gnome2::Config::Private->get_float ($path)`

$path (string)

Private edition, $path in, double out. 💖

`Gnome2::Config->set_float ($path, $value)`

$path (string)
$value (double)

$path plus a $value that's a double. very demure, very precise. 💅

`Gnome2::Config::Private->set_float ($path, $value)`

$path (string)
$value (double)

the Private twin, same args, same double. 🌸

`list = Gnome2::Config->get_float_with_default ($path)`

$path (string)

returns a boolean indicating whether the default was used and the actual value.

a list again: the boolean about whether the default was used, and the actual value. 🫶

`list = Gnome2::Config::Private->get_float_with_default ($path)`

$path (string)

Private version, $path in, list out. 🎀

`boolean = Gnome2::Config->has_section ($path)`

$path (string)

$path goes in, boolean comes out. 🌈

$path (string)

Private version of the same question. 🧚

`scalar = Gnome2::Config->init_iterator ($path)`

$path (string)

takes a $path, hands you a scalar. ✨

$path (string)

Private version, $path in, scalar out. 🌸
