    7 .SH NAME
    8 fc-cache \- build font information cache files
    9 .SH SYNOPSIS
    10
    11 \fBfc-cache\fR [ \fB-fsvV?\fR ] [ \fB--force\fR ] [ \fB--system-only\fR ] [ \fB--verbose\fR ] [ \fB--version\fR ] [ \fB--help\fR ] [ \fB\fIdirs\fB\fR ]

    13 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
    14 .PP
    15 \fBfc-cache\fR scans the font directories on
    16 the system and builds font information cache files for
    17 applications using fontconfig for their font handling.
    18 .PP
    19 If directory arguments are not given,
    20 \fBfc-cache\fR uses each directory in the
    21 current font configuration. Each directory is scanned for
    22 font files readable by FreeType. A cache is created which
    23 contains properties of each font and the associated filename.
    24 This cache is used to speed up application startup when using
    25 the fontconfig library.
    26 .SH "OPTIONS"
    27 .PP
    28 This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax,
    29 with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of
    30 options is included below.
    31 .TP
    32 \fB-f --force \fR
    33 Force re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache files,
    34 overriding the timestamp checking.
    35 .TP
    36 \fB-s --system-only \fR
    37 Only scan system-wide directories, omitting the places
    38 located in the user's home directory.
    39 .TP
    40 \fB-v --verbose \fR
    41 Display status information while busy.
    42 .TP
    43 \fB-? --help \fR
    44 Show summary of options.
    45 .TP
    46 \fB-V --version \fR
    47 Show version of the program and exit.
    48 .TP
    49 \fB\fIdirs\fB \fR
    50 A list of directories to scan for fonts.
    51 .SH "FILES"
    52 .TP
    53 \fB\fIfonts.cache-1\fB\fR
    54 These files are generated by \fBfc-cache\fR
    55 and contain maps from file names to font properties. They are
    56 read by the fontconfig library at application startup to locate
    57 appropriate fonts.
    58 .SH "SEE ALSO"
    59 .PP
    60 \fBfc-list\fR (1).
    61 .PP
    62 The fontconfig user's guide, in HTML format:
    63 \fI/usr/share/doc/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html\fR.
