.SH "NAME"
dconf-service \- D\-Bus service for writes to the dconf database
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBdconf\-service\fR\ 'u
\fBdconf\-service\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBdconf\-service\fR
program provides the
\fIca\&.desrt\&.dconf\fR
name on the session or system bus\&. Users or administrators should never need to start the service, as it will be automatically started by
\fBdbus-daemon\fR(1)
whenever an application tries to write settings\&.
.PP
Reading values from the dconf database does not involve the service; it is only needed for writes\&. The service is stateless and can exit freely at any time (and is therefore robust against crashes)\&.
