.TH "fc-cache" "1" 
.SH "NAME" 
fc-cache \(em build font information cache files 
.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
.PP 
\fBfc-cache\fR [\fB-cfsvV?\fP]  [\fB\-\-chroot root\fP]  [\fB\-\-force\fP]  [\fB\-\-system-only\fP]  [\fB\-\-verbose\fP]  [\fB\-\-version\fP]  [\fB\-\-help\fP]  [\fB\fIdirs\fR\fP]  
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
\fBfc-cache\fR scans the font directories on 
the system and builds font information cache files for 
applications using fontconfig for their font handling\&. 
.PP 
If directory arguments are not given, 
\fBfc-cache\fR uses each directory in the 
current font configuration\&. Each directory is scanned for 
font files readable by FreeType\&.  A cache is created which 
contains properties of each font and the associated filename\&. 
This cache is used to speed up application startup when using 
the fontconfig library\&. 
.PP 
Note that \fBfc-cache\fR must be executed 
once per architecture to generate font information customized 
for that architecture\&.  On a subsequent run, 
\fBfc-cache\fR will augment the cache 
information files with the information for the new 
architecture\&.  
.SH "OPTIONS" 
.PP 
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, 
with long options starting with two dashes (`\-\&')\&.  A summary of 
options is included below\&. 
.IP "\fB-c root\fP 	  \fB\-\-chroot root\fP 	" 10 
Change root directory into root  
before starting\&. 
.IP "\fB-f\fP           \fB\-\-force\fP         " 10 
Force re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache files, 
overriding the timestamp checking\&. 
.IP "\fB-s\fP           \fB\-\-system-only\fP         " 10 
Only scan system-wide directories, omitting the places 
located in the user\&'s home directory\&. 
.IP "\fB-v\fP           \fB\-\-verbose\fP         " 10 
Display status information while busy\&. 
.IP "\fB-?\fP           \fB\-\-help\fP         " 10 
Show summary of options\&. 
.IP "\fB-V\fP           \fB\-\-version\fP         " 10 
Show version of the program and exit\&. 
.IP "\fB\fIdirs\fR\fP         " 10 
A list of directories to scan for fonts\&. 
.SH "FILES" 
.IP "\fBfonts\&.cache-2\fP" 10 
These files are generated by \fBfc-cache\fR             and contain maps from file names to font properties\&. They are 
read by the fontconfig library at application startup to locate 
appropriate fonts\&.
