UPDATE-GTK-IMMODULES(1)

💖 UPDATE-GTK-IMMODULES 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for update-gtk-immodules, live from the User Commands section, section 1 🎀 (that's the manual name, we're being cute about it, keep up ✨)

🌸 NAME 🌸

update-gtk-immodules — update the GTK+ immodule cache 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

update-gtk-immodules [HOST_TRIPLET]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like. update-gtk-immodules is a wrapper around gtk-query-immodules-2.0 — a little bestie standing in front of the actual tool 🫶 — and its whole thing is that it tries to help with multilib installations. multilib is giving "both 32-bit and 64-bit and they're lowkey fighting" energy, and this lil script is the peacekeeper 💀

it is meant to be used in %post scripts of rpm packages that install input method modules for GTK+ 2.x. yes, %post, the rpm scriptlet moment, the "you just installed me so let me do my little post-install ritual" part of the vibe 🌈

it needs to be given a GNU-style host triplet as its argument, such as:

"x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu"

that argument is the main character here, no cap 👑 — it determines where the tool saves the gtk.immodules file that it creates. and listen, this part is important, so:

it must be the same as the host triplet that GTK+ was configured with. not a similar one. not a vibes-based one. the same one 😭
