NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

gtk-update-icon-cache [--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only
| --include-image-data] [--source NAME]
[--quiet] [--validate] PATH

DESCRIPTION

gtk-update-icon-cache creates mmapable cache files for icon themes.

It expects to be given the PATH to a icon theme directory containing
an index.theme, e.g. /usr/share/icons/hicolor, and writes a
icon-theme.cache containing cached information about the icons in the
directory tree below the given directory.

GTK+ can use the cache files created by gtk-update-icon-cache to
avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead when the
application starts. Since the format of the cache files allows them
to be mmaped shared between multiple applications, the overall memory
consumption is reduced as well.

OPTIONS

--force, -f
Overwrite an existing cache file even if it appears to be
uptodate.

--ignore-theme-index, -t
Don't check for the existence of index.theme in the icon theme
directory. Without this option, gtk-update-icon-cache refuses to
create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be
the toplevel directory of an icon theme.

--index-only, -i
Don't include image data in the cache.

--include-image-data
Include image data in the cache.

--source, -c
Output a C header file declaring a constant NAME with the
contents of the icon cache.

--quiet, -q
Turn off verbose output.

--validate, -v
Validate existing icon cache.
