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(R) 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(R) systems,
           cachedir is typically XDG_CACHE_HOME.
