KDED4(8) KDE User's Manual KDED4(8)NAME
kded4 - KDE daemon - triggers Sycoca database updates when needed.
SYNOPSIS
kded4 [--help] [Generic options] [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [--check]
DESCRIPTION
kded4 is responsible for creating the sycoca file, i.e. the binary cache of servicetypes, mimetypes, and services for a particular user.
It monitors the directories containing .desktop files. When a file is added/removed, it waits 5 seconds (in case of series of updates), and
then launches kbuildsycoca.
