UPDATE-ICON-CACHES(8)
✨ UPDATE-ICON-CACHES(8) ✨
okay bestie, this is the System Manager's Manual page 🧚 so it's the sysadmin-y stuff, and it's for update-icon-caches, the tool that refreshes icon caches. 💅
🌸 NAME 🌸
update-icon-caches — Update wrapper script for the icon caches 🎀
🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋
update-icon-caches directory [ ... ]💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
okay so update-icon-caches is a wrapper script 🫶 which means it's a little helper that does the work for you. Its whole job is to update the icon caches in whatever list of directories you hand it. 🔥
Here's the tea: for every directory you pass in, the icon cache gets updated only if it's already there. If there's no cache yet, it won't make one. Not me being picky, just how it works 🙈
Also, if the theme index file is missing, the icon cache gets removed. So yeah, no index, no cache. 💀
