Description
gtk-update-icon-cache creates mmap()able 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 mmap()ed 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.
--source
-c
Output a C header file declaring a constant
name with the contents of the icon
cache.
--quiet
-q
Turn off verbose output.
