NAME

       fc-cache - build font information cache files

SYNOPSIS

       fc-cache  [ -EfrsvVh ]  [ --error-on-no-fonts ]	[ --force ]  [ --really-force ]  [  [ -y dir ]	[ --sysroot dir ]  ]  [ --system-only ]  [
       --verbose ]  [ --version ]  [ --help ]  [ dir... ]

DESCRIPTION

       fc-cache scans the font directories on the system and builds font information cache files for applications using fontconfig for their  font
       handling.

       If  directory  arguments  are not given, fc-cache 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.

       Note that fc-cache must be executed once per architecture to generate font information customized for that architecture.

OPTIONS

       This  program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
       below.

       -E     Raise an error if there are no fonts in dir or directories in the configuration if not given.

       -f     Force re-generation of apparently up-to-date cache files, overriding the timestamp checking.

       -r     Erase all existing cache files and rescan.

       -s     Only scan system-wide directories, omitting the places located in the user's home directory.

       -v     Display status information while busy.

       -y     Prepend dir to all paths for scanning.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -V     Show version of the program and exit.

       dir    Directory to scan for fonts.

RETURN CODES

       fc-cache returns zero if the caches successfully generated. otherwise non-zero.

FILES

       %cachedir%/*-%arch%.cache-%version%
	      These files are generated by fc-cache and contain maps from file names to font properties. They are read by the  fontconfig  library
	      at application startup to locate appropriate fonts.
