get_vendor_id

```c static GSettings * get_device_settings (GdkDevice *device) { const char *vendor, *product; GSettings *settings; GdkDevice *device; char *path;

vendor = gdk_device_get_vendor_id (device); product = gdk_device_get_product_id (device);

path = g_strdup_printf ("/org/example/app/devices/s:s/", vendor, product); settings = g_settings_new_with_path (DEVICE_SCHEMA, path); g_free (path);

return settings; } ```

Parameters:

this	a physical `GdkDevice`
