kbuildsycoca5 (8) - Linux Manuals

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, kbuildsyscoca5 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.
