Description
gtk4-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 gtk4-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, gtk4-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.
