🌸 METHODS 🌸

Okay so here's the whole roster of methods, no skips, no skimming, we're covering every single one 🫶

boolean = Gnome2->CHECK_VERSION ($major, $minor, $micro)

Checks a version, and hands you back a boolean. It takes three args:

• $major — an integer, the big number energy one 👑
• $minor — an integer, the middle one
• $micro — an integer, the tiny one 🐣

boolean = Gnome2->CHECK_VERSION ($major, $minor, $micro)

list = Gnome2->GET_VERSION_INFO

Gives you back a list of version info. No args, no drama, just vibes ✨

list = Gnome2->GET_VERSION_INFO

string = Gnome2::GConf->get_app_settings_relative ($program, $subkey)

Returns a string with the app settings, relative-style. Takes:

• $program — a Gnome2::Program 🧚
• $subkey — a string 🔑

string = Gnome2::GConf->get_app_settings_relative ($program, $subkey)

string = Gnome2::GConf->get_gnome_libs_settings_relative ($subkey)

Same energy, but for the gnome libs settings, and it's just the one arg. Returns a string 💅

• $subkey — a string 🔑

string = Gnome2::GConf->get_gnome_libs_settings_relative ($subkey)

string = Gnome2->user_accels_dir_get

Gives you back a string — the user accels dir. Slay 💖

string = Gnome2->user_accels_dir_get

string = Gnome2->user_dir_get

Returns a string — the user dir. Periodt 🎀

string = Gnome2->user_dir_get

string = Gnome2->user_private_dir_get

And this one returns a string too — the user private dir, very main character energy, very exclusive 🙈

string = Gnome2->user_private_dir_get
