mkcomposecache - create a cache file for a compose file explicitly
mkcomposecache locale compose-file cache-dir [ internal-name ]
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.
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.
