# Gnome2::GConf::Entry(3pm)

Container Objects for key/value pairs

## NAME

Gnome2::GConf::Entry -  Container Objects for key/value pairs

## SYNOPSIS

```
  $client = Gnome2::GConf::Client->get_default;
  $client->notify_add($config_key, sub {
      my ($client, $cnxn_id, $entry) = @_;
      return unless $entry;

      unless ($entry->{value})
      {
        $label->set_text('');
      }
      elsif ($entry->{value}->{type} eq 'string')
      {
        $label->set_text($entry->{value}->{value});
      }

      }
    });
```

## DESCRIPTION

In C, `"GConfEntry"` is a opaque container for the key string and for the `"GConfValue"` bound to that key.  In perl, it's a blessed reference to Gnome2::GConf::Entry, holding these keys:

- **key**

  The key that is being monitored.

- **value**

  An hashref, representing a `"GConfValue"` (see Gnome2::GConf::Value), which contains the type and the value of the key; it may be undef if the key has been unset.  Every method of the C API is replaced by standard perl functions that operate on hashrefs.

- **is\_default**

  Whether the Gnome2::GConf::Value held by this entry is the default value provided by the schema attached to the key.

- **is\_writable**

  Whether the key is stored in a writable source inside the GConf database.

- **schema\_name**

  The name of the schema key bound to this key.
