  \class QSettings
  \brief The QSettings class provides persistent platform-independent application settings.

  \ingroup io
  \ingroup misc
  \mainclass

  On Unix systems, QSettings uses text files to store settings. On Windows
  systems, QSettings uses the system registry.  On Mac OS X, QSettings will
  behave as on Unix, and store to text files.

  Each setting comprises an identifying key and the data associated with
  the key. A key is a unicode string which consists of \e two or more
  subkeys. A subkey is a slash, '/', followed by one or more unicode
  characters (excluding slashes, newlines, carriage returns and equals,
  '=', signs). The associated data, called the entry or value, may be a
  boolean, an integer, a double, a string or a list of strings. Entry
  strings may contain any unicode characters.

  If you want to save and restore the entire desktop's settings, i.e.
  which applications are running, use QSettings to save the settings
  for each individual application and QSessionManager to save the
  desktop's session.

    Example settings:
    \code
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/background color
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/foreground color
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/geometry/x
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/geometry/y
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/geometry/width
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/geometry/height
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/recent files/1
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/recent files/2
    /MyCompany/MyApplication/recent files/3
    \endcode
    Each line above is a complete key, made up of subkeys.

    A typical usage pattern for application startup:
    \code
    QSettings settings;
    settings.insertSearchPath( QSettings::Windows, "/MyCompany" );
    // No search path needed for Unix; see notes further on.
    // Use default values if the keys don't exist
    QString bgColor = settings.readEntry( "/MyApplication/background color", "white" );
    int width = settings.readNumEntry( "/MyApplication/geometry/width", 640 );
    // ...
    \endcode

    A typical usage pattern for application exit or 'save preferences':
    \code
    QSettings settings;
    settings.insertSearchPath( QSettings::Windows, "/MyCompany" );
    // No search path needed for Unix; see notes further on.
    settings.writeEntry( "/MyApplication/background color", bgColor );
    settings.writeEntry( "/MyApplication/geometry/width", width );
    // ...
    \endcode

    You can get a list of entry-holding keys by calling entryList(), and
    a list of key-holding keys using subkeyList().

    \code
    QStringList keys = entryList( "/MyApplication" );
    // keys contains 'background color' and 'foreground color'.

    QStringList keys = entryList( "/MyApplication/recent files" );
    // keys contains '1', '2' and '3'.

    QStringList subkeys = subkeyList( "/MyApplication" );
    // subkeys contains 'geometry' and 'recent files'

    QStringList subkeys = subkeyList( "/MyApplication/recent files" );
    // subkeys is empty.
    \endcode

    If you wish to use a different search path call insertSearchPath()
    as often as necessary to add your preferred paths. Call
    removeSearchPath() to remove any unwanted paths.

    Since settings for Windows are stored in the registry there are size
    limits as follows:
    \list
    \i A subkey may not exceed 255 characters.
    \i An entry's value may not exceed 16,300 characters.
    \i All the values of a key (for example, all the 'recent files'
    subkeys values), may not exceed 65,535 characters.
    \endlist

    These limitations are not enforced on Unix.

    \section1 Notes for Unix Applications

    There is no universally accepted place for storing application
    settings under Unix. In the examples the settings file will be
    searched for in the following directories:
    \list 1
    \i $QT_INSTALL_PREFIX/etc/settings
    \i /opt/MyCompany/share/etc
    \i /opt/MyCompany/share/MyApplication/etc
    \i $HOME/.qt
    \endlist
    When reading settings the files are searched in the order shown
    above, with later settings overriding earlier settings. Files for
    which the user doesn't have read permission are ignored. When saving
    settings QSettings works forwards in the order shown above writing
    to the first settings file for which the user has write permission.
    ($QT_INSTALL_PREFIX is the directory where Qt was installed.  This can be
    modified by using the configure script's -prefix argument)

    If you want to put the settings in a particular place in the
    filesystem you could do this:
    \code
    settings.insertSearchPath( QSettings::Unix, "/opt/MyCompany/share" );
    \endcode

    But in practice you may prefer not to use a search path for Unix.
    For example the following code:
    \code
    settings.writeEntry( "/MyApplication/geometry/width", width );
    \endcode
    will end up writing the "geometry/width" setting to the file
    \c{$HOME/.qt/myapplicationrc} (assuming that the application is
    being run by an ordinary user, i.e. not by root).

    For multiplatform applications you should ensure that the Windows
    size limitations are not exceeded.

/*!
  Inserts \a path into the settings search path. The semantics of \a
  path depends on the system \a s.

  When \a s is \e Windows and the execution environment is \e not
  Windows the function does nothing. Similarly when \a s is \e Unix and
  the execution environment is \e not Unix the function does nothing.

  When \a s is \e Windows, and the execution environment is Windows, the
  search path list will be used as the first subfolder of the "Software"
  folder in the registry.

    When reading settings the folders are searched forwards from the first
    folder (listed below) to the last, with later settings overriding
    settings found earlier, and ignoring any folders for which the user
    doesn't have read permission.
  \list 1
  \i HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MyCompany/MyApplication
  \i HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MyApplication
  \i HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/MyCompany/MyApplication
  \i HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/MyApplication
  \endlist

  \code
  QSettings settings;
  settings.insertSearchPath( QSettings::Windows, "/MyCompany" );
  settings.writeEntry( "/MyApplication/Tip of the day", TRUE );
  \endcode
    The code above will write the subkey "Tip of the day" into the \e first
    of the registry folders listed below that is found and for which the
    user has write permission.
  \list 1
  \i HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/MyApplication
  \i HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/MyCompany/MyApplication
  \i HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MyApplication
  \i HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MyCompany/MyApplication
  \endlist

  When \a s is \e Unix, and the execution environment is Unix, the
  search path list will be used when trying to determine a suitable
  filename for reading and writing settings files. By default, there are
  two entries in the search path:

  \list 1
  \i $QTDIR/etc - where $QTDIR is the directory where Qt was installed.
  \i $HOME/.qt/ - where $HOME is the user's home directory.
  \endlist

  All insertions into the search path will go before $HOME/.qt/.
  For example:
  \code
  QSettings settings;
  settings.insertSearchPath( QSettings::Unix, "/opt/MyCompany/share/etc" );
  settings.insertSearchPath( QSettings::Unix, "/opt/MyCompany/share/MyApplication/etc" );
  // ...
  \endcode
  Will result in a search path of:
  \list 1
  \i $QTDIR/etc
  \i /opt/MyCompany/share/etc
  \i /opt/MyCompany/share/MyApplication/etc
  \i $HOME/.qt
  \endlist
    When reading settings the files are searched in the order shown
    above, with later settings overriding earlier settings. Files for
    which the user doesn't have read permission are ignored. When saving
    settings QSettings works forwards in the order shown above writing
    to the first settings file for which the user has write permission.
    ($QTDIR is the directory where Qt was installed.)

  Settings under Unix are stored in files whose names are based on the
  first subkey of the key (not including the search path). The algorithm
  for creating names is essentially: lowercase the first subkey, replace
  spaces with underscores and add 'rc', e.g.
  <tt>/MyCompany/MyApplication/background color</tt> will be stored in
  <tt>myapplicationrc</tt> (assuming that <tt>/MyCompany</tt> is part of
  the search path).
