Description [src] 

class Valent.Context : Valent.Object
{
  /* No available fields */
}

A class representing a abstract data context.

ValentContext is an abstraction of a data context, with a loose hierarchy expressed as a virtual path (e.g. device/0123456789abcdef/plugin/battery). It can be used to coordinate persistent data of various types by mapping onto existing hierarchies like GSettings (i.e. relocatable schemas), on-disk caches and configuration files (i.e. XDG data dirs) and user files (i.e. XDG user dirs).
