KBUILDSYCOCA5(8) KDE Frameworks: KService KBUILDSYCOCA5(8)
NAME
kbuildsycoca5 - Rebuilds the KService desktop file system configuration
cache
SYNOPSIS
kbuildsycoca5 [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
kbuildsycoca5 builds binary cache of the data stored in .desktop and
MIME type .xml files that the KService framework uses to find plugins,
applications and other services.
The KService library uses this database to efficiently provide the
information requested of it.
Users do not normally need to run this application directly; KService
will run it if necessary, when any of the files whose data is cached
are changed.
OPTIONS
--global
Ignores any user-set files (in XDG_DATA_HOME). This is currently
only supported on UNIX® systems.
--noincremental
Rather than using the existing cache and only updating the
information that has changed or been added, start with an empty
cache. Ignored if --global is set.
--nosignal
Ordinarily, kbuildsycoca5 sends a signal over D-Bus once the cache
is updated to all the applications that use KService so that they
are always working with the latest information. This option
suppresses that behaviour.
--menutest
Test the generation of the application menu database. Does not
actually build the cache.
--testmode
Use the QStandardPaths "test mode" to avoid interfering with user
data. This is intended for use with unit tests.
--track menu-id
Track a menu ID for debugging.
--author
Show author information.
--license
Show license information.
-h, --help
Show a brief help text.
-v , --version
Show version information.
FILES
cachedir/ksycoca5_[lang]_[sha1-of-dirs]
The KService cache generated by kbuildsycoca5. On UNIX® systems,
cachedir is typically XDG_CACHE_HOME.
