NAME

     AssetCacheManagerUtil -- control the macOS Content Cache

SYNOPSIS

     AssetCacheManagerUtil [-a|--all] [-j|--json] [-l|--linger] command

DESCRIPTION

     AssetCacheManagerUtil controls the macOS Content Cache.  AssetCacheManagerUtil must be run by root except as noted below.	The options are:

     -a|--all	   Show all events, not just the end result of the specified command.

     -j|--json	   Print results in machine-parseable JSON format to stdout.

     -l|--linger   Linger after completing command, to show other events.

     The commands are:

     activate	   Activates the content cache.  Content caching is deactivated by default.  After you activate content caching, restart devices
		   on your network to take advantage of content caching immediately.  Devices on your network will discover this content cache
		   over time.  Devices that are restarted will use this content cache immediately.

     deactivate    Deactivates the content cache.

     isActivated   Reports the content cache's activation status.  Does not require root.

     canActivate   Reports whether the content cache is eligible for activation.  Does not require root.

     flushCache    Flushes the content cache.

     flushPersonalCache
		   Flushes all personal (iCloud) content from the content cache.

     flushSharedCache
		   Flushes all shared (non-iCloud) content from the content cache.

     status	   Reports the content cache's status.	Does not require root.

     settings	   Reports the content cache's settings.  Does not require root.

     reloadSettings
		   Forces the content cache to reload its settings.

     moveCacheTo path
		   Moves the cache to path.  The path must end with /Library/Application Support/Apple/AssetCache/Data.  The contents of path are
		   deleted and replaced with the cache.

     absorbCacheFrom path read-only|and-destroy
		   Imports the cache from path.  The path must end with either /Library/Application Support/Apple/AssetCache/Data or
		   /Library/Server/Caching/Data.  If the last argument is read-only the cache at path is not modified, otherwise it is emptied.
		   This command only starts the absorption, which proceeds and finishes in the background.
