NAME

       update-desktop-database - Desktop file caching utility

SYNOPSIS

       update-desktop-database [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [filepath]

DESCRIPTION

       update-desktop-database creates cache files for desktop file MIME type mapping for improved MIME lookup performance.

       It  expects  to	be  given  the	path  to  a  directory	or  directories  containing a number of application installed .desktop files, e.g.
       /usr/share/applications, and writes a mime-info.cache containing cached information about the MIME types that each application can  handle.
       If  no directory is provided, this utility will use a default directory list as specified in the FreeDesktop MIME specification. This cache
       file is used to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead in a number of applications.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -?, --help		       Show help options.

       -v, --verbose		       Turn on verbose output.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       filepath 	       The path to a directory or directories containing a number of application installed .desktop files.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully

       1	Application exited with failure
