NAME

6       gtk-update-icon-cache - Icon theme caching utility
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gtk-update-icon-cache [--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only]
10                             [--source [name]] [--quiet] {iconpath}
11

DESCRIPTION

13       gtk-update-icon-cache creates mmap()able cache files for icon themes.
14
15       It expects to be given the path to a icon theme directory containing an
16       index.theme, e.g.  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, and writes a
17       icon-theme.cache containing cached information about the icons in the
18       directory tree below the given directory.
19
20       GTK+ can use the cache files created by gtk-update-icon-cache to avoid
21       a lot of system call and disk seek overhead when the application
22       starts. Since the format of the cache files allows them to be mmap()ed
23       shared between multiple applications, the overall memory consumption is
24       reduced as well.
25

OPTIONS

27       --force, -f
28              Overwrite an existing cache file even if it appears to be
29              uptodate.
30
31       --ignore-theme-index, -t
32              Don't check for the existence of 'index.theme' in the icon theme
33              directory. Without this option, gtk-update-icon-cache refuses to
34              create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be
35              the toplevel directory of an icon theme.
36
37       --index-only, -i
38              Don't include image data in the cache.
39
40       --source, -c
41              Output a C header file declaring a constant name with the
42              contents of the icon cache.
43
44       --quiet, -q
45              Turn off verbose output.
