NAME

6       kbuildsycoca5 - Rebuilds the KService desktop file system configuration
7       cache.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       kbuildsycoca5 [OPTIONS...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       kbuildsycoca5 builds binary cache of the data stored in .desktop and
14       MIME type .xml files that the KService framework uses to find plugins,
15       applications and other services.
16
17       The KService library uses this database to efficiently provide the
18       information requested of it.
19
20       Users do not normally need to run this application directly; KService
21       will run it if necessary, when any of the files whose data is cached
22       are changed.
23

OPTIONS

25       --global
26           Ignores any user-set files (in XDG_DATA_HOME). This is currently
27           only supported on Unix systems.
28
29       --noincremental
30           Rather than using the existing cache and only updating the
31           information that has changed or been added, start with an empty
32           cache. Ignored if --global is set.
33
34       --nosignal
35           Ordinarily, kbuildsyscoca5 sends a signal over D-Bus once the cache
36           is updated to all the applications that use KService so that they
37           are always working with the latest information. This option
38           suppresses that behaviour.
39
40       --menutest
41           Test the generation of the application menu database. Does not
42           actually build the cache.
43
44       --testmode
45           Use the QStandardPaths "test mode" to avoid interfering with user
46           data. This is intended for use with unit tests.
47
48       --track menu-id
49           Track a menu ID for debugging.
50
51       --author
52           Show author information.
53
54       --license
55           Show license information.
56
57       -h, --help
58           Show a brief help text.
59
60       -v , --version
61           Show version information.
