NAME
       gtk4-update-icon-cache - Icon theme caching utility

SYNOPSIS
       gtk4-update-icon-cache [--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only |
                              --include-image-data] [--source NAME] [--quiet]
                              [--validate] PATH

DESCRIPTION
       gtk4-update-icon-cache creates mmapable cache files for icon themes.

       It expects to be given the PATH to an 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 shared
       across multiple processes, for instance using the POSIX mmap() system
       call, the overall memory consumption is reduced as well.

OPTIONS
       --force, -f
           Overwrite an existing cache file even if it appears to be
           up-to-date.

       --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.
