TYPECACHE(1)                                                      TYPECACHE(1)



NAME
     typeCache - fill desktop type cache for a directory

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/desktop/typeCache dir

DESCRIPTION
     In order to improve performance, the IRIX Interactive Desktop
     automatically maintains a cache of ftr types for all of the directories
     that are viewed with fm or dirview.  The typeCache utility can be used to
     "pre-fill" this cache for the specified directory.

ARGUMENTS
     dir     The directory name whose contents are to be typed.
             Subdirectories are not traversed, nor are symbolic links typed.

EXAMPLE
     For example, the following command could be executed via a crontab entry
     to pre-fill the type cache for all directories under $HOME:

     find $HOME -type d -exec /usr/lib/desktop/typeCache '{}' ;

FILES
     $HOME/.desktop-<hostname>/TypeCache
          directory containing cached ftr types
