💅 mtx-cache

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about mtx-cache — aka the ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management situation. it's a script, it's a whole vibe, and it lives inside mtxrun. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

so you don't run it directly, you summon it through mtxrun --script cache, and then you can hand it some OPTIONS and some FILENAMES if you're feeling generous. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ConTeXt & MetaTeX Cache Management

that's it, that's the whole job. it manages your cache. your cache is being managed. it's giving housekeeping but make it iconic. 🧹✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --make — generate databases and formats. it's building stuff, it's creating stuff, it's lowkey doing the most (affectionate). 🏗️
  • --erase — completely remove cache. COMPLETELY. like, gone gone. and if you also pass --bytecode, that gets wiped too. so uh, be sure before you commit, bestie, because there is no undo button on this one. 💀
  • --list — show cache. just. look at it. peek. observe. the cache is right there, go say hi. 👀
  • --fonts — only wipe fonts. just the fonts. nothing else. a very targeted little cleanse. 🫧
