MKCACHE(1) 🦋 — GoFish manual energy

okay bestie, we're in the GoFish manual and this page is about mkcache, the little cache-maker that's lowkey iconic 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

mkcache — produce .cache files for GoFish ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkcache [-c config] [-rv] [-s sorttype] [directory]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so mkcache automatically generates .cache files for the GoFish gopher server based on the files in the directories. It's giving "I make the cache so you don't have to" energy 🌸

because all files are specified relative to the gopher root directory, it is very important that the root directory is set correctly — fr fr, do not skip this vibe check. mkcache reads the same configuration file used by GoFish 👑

The directory to process defaults to the root directory. If you explicitly set directory, it must be a subdirectory of the root directory. no cap 🫶

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

mkcache will overwrite all existing .cache files. like, all of them. this is not a drill, bestie 😭💀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -c {config} — set the config file to read 🎀
  • -r — recurse into directories 🌀
  • -s n — sort type. 0 = simple, 1 = dirs first, 2 = dirs then filetype ✨
  • -v — increase verbosity 🗣️
