gio-querymodules: GIO module cache creation

NAME

gio-querymodules - GIO module cache creation

SYNOPSIS

gio-querymodules {DIRECTORY...}

DESCRIPTION

gio-querymodules

creates a giomodule.cache file in the listed directories. This file lists the implemented extension points for each module that has been found. It is used by GIO at runtime to avoid opening all modules just to find out which extension points they are implementing.

GIO modules are usually installed in the gio/modules subdirectory of libdir.
