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:

-j|--json Print results in machine-parseable JSON format to stdout.
-l|--linger Linger after completing command, to show other events.
The commands are:

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.

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.
