💖 mtx-cache — ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the little manual page for mtx-cache from the ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management corner of the universe and honestly? it's giving janitor energy in the best way. it's the script you call when your caches are messy and your formats are acting up and you just need someone to ✨ handle it ✨.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mtxrun --script cache [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

yes that's the whole vibe: you run it through mtxrun, you hand it a script name of cache, and then optionally some options and optionally some filenames. simple. iconic. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management

like. that's the description. that's what it does. it manages caches, for ConTeXt and for MetaTeX. no cap. 🎀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --make — generate databases and formats. it's the builder option, it makes the things, it's lowkey the main character of this whole page. 🛠️
  • --erase — completely remove cache. note the word completely, bestie. this one goes full scorched earth on your cache, so know what you're doing before you press enter. 💀
  • --list — show cache. it just shows you the cache, like holding up a mirror to your filesystem. very demure, very mindful, very informative. 🪞
  • --fonts — only wipe fonts. that's it, that's the whole thing, it restricts the wiping to just the fonts. 🫶

fr fr, this page is short but it's mighty. caches cleaned, fonts wiped (only if you asked), formats made. periodt. 💜

and that's a wrap, bestie — this whole thing is version 1.01, dated 01-01-2023, so it's been serving looks since the very first day of that year. mwah. 🎀💖✨
