## Description

Miscellaneous utility functions for libgimpconfig.

## Functions

### gimp_config_diff ()

    GList *
    gimp_config_diff (GObject *a,
                      GObject *b,
                      GParamFlags flags);

Compares all properties of `a` and `b` that have all `flags` set. If `flags` is 0, all properties are compared.

If the two objects are not of the same type, only properties that exist in both object classes and are of the same value_type are compared.

#### Parameters

a | a GObject |
b | another GObject object |
flags | a mask of GParamFlags |

#### Returns

a GList of differing GParamSpecs.

Since: 2.4

### gimp_config_sync ()

    gboolean
    gimp_config_sync (GObject *src,
                      GObject *dest,
                      GParamFlags flags);

Compares all read- and write-able properties from `src` and `dest` that have all `flags` set. Differing values are then copied from `src` to `dest` . If `flags` is 0, all differing read/write properties.

Properties marked as "construct-only" are not touched.

If the two objects are not of the same type, only properties that exist in both object classes and are of the same value_type are synchronized

#### Parameters

src | a GObject |
dest | another GObject |
flags | a mask of GParamFlags |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if `dest` was modified, `FALSE` otherwise

Since: 2.4

### gimp_config_reset_properties ()

    void
    gimp_config_reset_properties (GObject *object);

Resets all writable properties of `object` to the default values as defined in their GParamSpec. Properties marked as "construct-only" are not touched.

If you want to reset a GimpConfig object, please use `gimp_config_reset()`.

#### Parameters

object | a GObject |

Since: 2.4

### gimp_config_reset_property ()

    void
    gimp_config_reset_property (GObject *object,
                                const gchar *property_name);

Resets the property named `property_name` to its default value. The property must be writable and must not be marked as "construct-only".

#### Parameters

object | a GObject |
property_name | name of the property to reset |

Since: 2.4

### gimp_config_string_append_escaped ()

    void
    gimp_config_string_append_escaped (GString *string,
                                       const gchar *val);

Escapes and quotes `val` and appends it to `string` . The escape algorithm is different from the one used by `g_strescape()` since it leaves non-ASCII characters intact and thus preserves UTF-8 strings. Only control characters and quotes are being escaped.

#### Parameters

string | pointer to a GString |
val | a string to append or `NULL` |

Since: 2.4
