9 gtk-update-icon-cache [--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only]
10 [--source [name]] [--quiet] {iconpath}
11
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
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.
46
48 None known yet.
