Synopsis

This module allows for the manipulation of Xfce 4 Configuration via xfconf-query. Please see the xfconf-query(1) man pages for more details.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
channel string / required		A Xfconf preference channel is a top-level tree key, inside of the Xfconf repository that corresponds to the location for which all application properties/keys are stored. See man xfconf-query(1)
force_array boolean added in 1.0.0 of community.general	no ← yes	Force array even if only one element aliases: array
property string / required		A Xfce preference key is an element in the Xfconf repository that corresponds to an application preference. See man xfconf-query(1)
state string	get present ← absent	The action to take upon the property/value.
value list / elements=raw		Preference properties typically have simple values such as strings, integers, or lists of strings and integers. This is ignored if the state is "get". For array mode, use a list of values. See man xfconf-query(1)
value_type list / elements=string	int uint bool float double string	The type of value being set. This is ignored if the state is "get". For array mode, use a list of types.
