DESCRIPTION

16       kbuildsycoca4, as part of the KDE command line tools ensures the proper
17       operation of KDE by reading in all the .desktop, .xml, and .protocol
18       files to construct a binary database.
19
20       KDE itself accesses this database during operation to provide
21       configuration information a program needs to run.
22
23       This tool is part of ksycoca4, which stands for KDE System
24       Configuration Cache
