kbuildsycoca5 - Rebuilds the KService desktop file system
configuration cache
kbuildsycoca5 [OPTIONS...]
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.
--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.
cachedir/ksycoca5_[lang]_[sha1-of-dirs]

UNIX® systems, cachedir is typically
