GIO-QUERYMODULES(1)

✨ NAME ✨

gio-querymodules — bestie, it's the GIO module cache maker 💅 (yes this is the manual page for it, section 1, iykyk)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gio-querymodules DIRECTORY…

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: gio-querymodules creates a file called giomodule.cache inside each of the directories you list. that's literally its whole job and it does it flawlessly, no cap 🎀

what goes in that file? it lists all the implemented extension points for every module it managed to find in there. and why do we care? because GIO reads this cache at runtime so it doesn't have to go open every single module just to figure out which extension points each one is implementing. it's giving efficiency. it's giving main character energy. it's giving not wasting your time 🫶

and a lil context for you: GIO modules usually live in the gio/modules subdirectory of libdir. that's where they're at, that's their home 🏠

💖 tiny vibe check: this page is short because the tool is short. simple queen, iconic behaviour.

mwah, that's the whole page! the footer just echoes gio-querymodules() right back at you — no version bump, no date, nothing extra, just the name one more time like a lil signature 💌 so consider this your official sign-off: gio-querymodules(), that's it bestie, go build that cache 💅✨
