get_user_value

Checks the ‘user value’ of a key, if there is one.

The user value of a key is the last value that was set by the user.

After calling [method@Gio.Settings.reset] this function should always return `NULL` (assuming something is not wrong with the system configuration).

It is possible that [method@Gio.Settings.get_value] will return a different value than this function. This can happen in the case that the user set a value for a key that was subsequently locked down by the system administrator — this function will return the user’s old value.

This function may be useful for adding a ‘reset’ option to a UI or for providing indication that a particular value has been changed.

It is a programmer error to give a key that isn’t contained in the schema for this.

Parameters:

this	the settings object
key	the key to get the user value for

Returns:

the user’s value, if set
