NAME

mkcomposecache − create a cache file for a compose file explicitly

SYNOPSIS

mkcomposecache locale compose-file cache-dir [ internal-name ]

DESCRIPTION

mkcomposecache creates a cache file for the specified compose-file used in the given locale and saves it in cache-dir. If internal-name has been specified, it is used as the name of the compose table for computing the hash values and internal validation. This is necessary if global compose cache files shall be created while using DESTDIR during X11 installation.

Notes:

	-		compose cache files are created by libX11, thus an Xserver has to be running and DISPLAY has to be set correctly for creating cache files.
	-		libX11 will not write compose cache files if run as root or with different real and effective uids.
	-		libX11 will not create compose cache files in directories writable for other users.

DIAGNOSTICS

mkcomposecache returns with exit status 1 on general errors (no Xserver, invoked as root, etc.) and 2 on unsupported locales.

An exit status of 0 does not imply that a cache file is actually written, though. This very much depends on the used libX11 and its safety regulations.

EXAMPLES

mkcomposecache en_US.UTF-8 /var/tmp/buildroot/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose /var/tmp/buildroot/var/X11R6/compose_cache /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

FILES

/var/cache/libx11/compose/ Location of global compose cache.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
