Types in this module release

gconf

Manages a key-value pair within the GConf repository. The key is set to be the value of $namevar. The key name (either short or long), the value and the type of the value are required.

  Be aware, gconftool-2 is pretty slow and this type suffers from it.

Parameters
car_type	If 'value' is a pair, what type the first value is.
cdr_type	If 'value' is a pair, what type the second value is.
clean_source	Allows the user to choose a pre-configured method for cleaning up the 'value' targeted by 'source'. `Only works with 'type' 'string' and TODO Available Methods: - gui - Takes a multi-line input and makes all single-return lines into a single segment. Preserves empty lines. Example: 'foo bar\nbaz moo' => 'foo bar baz moo' 'foo bar\n\nbaz moo' => 'foo bar\n\nbaz moo' - strip - Strips off all leading and trailing whitespace from all lines. - lstrip - Strips off all leading whitespace from all lines. - rstrip - Strips off all trailing whitespace from all lines.`
ensure
force	Don't check the schemas to see if this is a valid target, just set it.
key	The short or complete name of the key in the GConf key-value pair.
list_type	If 'value' is a list, what type of list it is.
provider
recurse	When ensuring 'absent', recursively unset entries.
schema	The config-source of the GConf key.
source	The source of the content of value. If set to 'var', the literal value found will be used, which is the normal case. `If set to 'file', then the contents of the file will be read and used as the content of the value. NOTE: 'file' is only valid for type 'string'`
type	The type of the value, such as int or bool.

Properties
value	The value of the GConf key-value pair. If you point this at a file, it WILL be read into memory! `Accepts an array, but 'list_type' or 'car_type' and 'cdr_type' must be set. If 'car_type' and 'cdr_type' are set, then the array can only have two values ['<car>','<cdr>'].`
