gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders: GDK-PixBuf Reference Manual

## gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders — GdkPixbuf loader registration utility |

## Synopsis

`gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders` [--update-cache] [MODULE...]

## Description

gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders collects information about loadable modules for gdk-pixbuf and writes it to the default cache file location, or to `stdout`.

If called without arguments, it looks for modules in the gdk-pixbuf loader directory.

If called with arguments, it looks for the specified modules. The arguments may be absolute or relative paths.

Normally, the output of gdk-pixbuf-queryloaders is written to ``libdir`/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache`, where gdk-pixbuf looks for it by default. If it is written to some other location, the environment variable `GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE` can be set to point gdk-pixbuf at the file.

## Options

--update-cache | Write the output to the default cache location instead of `stdout`

## Environment

The environment variable `GDK_PIXBUF_MODULEDIR` can be used to specify a different loader directory. The default gdk-pixbuf loader directory is ``libdir`/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/`version`/loaders`.
