Variations on a theme...
Well you lot seriously amaze me.

There was a thread a few hours ago, (on the date stamp shown in this upload), that generated loads of solutions to a fairly simple problem:-

https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...imes-line.html

As a amateur and still basically a complete novice I really enjoyed seeing all the variations on a single theme.

I am now ejnoying shell scripting so much that I have virtually ditched Python, (until now my fav' language), and put it in pole position.
I still like Python for the AMIGA so will still be using it.
However you lot who post replies have taught me so much since I started here a few months ago and for this I say thanks.

Why do I like shell scripting? Well I guess it is the fact that it is much like BASIC in the old days and structured coding seems optional rather than mandatory.

Why do I like this site? Well you lot have not treated me with utter contempt like one other site, (name withheld but related to this Macbook Pro), that regarded me as a total halfwit because I was a newbie.

I say thanks to all who give their spare time to keep site this as professinal as possible.

<Thumbs Up.>

This site, Linux Format and AMINET are now my 3 fav' sites...
Oh, and I forgot, <Me awaits tomatoes being thrown at me.>, I am a Facebook fanatic... ;oD

CYA...

gtk-update-icon-cache

GTK-UPDATE-ICON-C(1)						  [FIXME: manual]					      GTK-UPDATE-ICON-C(1)

NAME

       gtk-update-icon-cache - Icon theme caching utility

SYNOPSIS

       gtk-update-icon-cache [--force] [--ignore-theme-index] [--index-only] [--source [name]] [--quiet] [--validate] {iconpath}

DESCRIPTION

       gtk-update-icon-cache creates mmap()able cache files for icon themes.

       It expects to be given the path to a icon theme directory containing an index.theme, e.g.  /usr/share/icons/hicolor, and writes a
       icon-theme.cache containing cached information about the icons in the directory tree below the given directory.

       GTK+ can use the cache files created by gtk-update-icon-cache to avoid a lot of system call and disk seek overhead when the application
       starts. Since the format of the cache files allows them to be mmap()ed shared between multiple applications, the overall memory consumption
       is reduced as well.

OPTIONS

       --force, -f
	   Overwrite an existing cache file even if it appears to be uptodate.

       --ignore-theme-index, -t
	   Don't check for the existence of 'index.theme' in the icon theme directory. Without this option, gtk-update-icon-cache refuses to
	   create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be the toplevel directory of an icon theme.

       --index-only, -i
	   Don't include image data in the cache.

       --source, -c
	   Output a C header file declaring a constant name with the contents of the icon cache.

       --quiet, -q
	   Turn off verbose output.

       --validate, -v
	   Validate existing icon cache.

BUGS

       None known yet.
