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.
