Synopsis
gtk-update-icon-cache
[--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only] [--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.
