MKCOMPOSECACHE(8)	    System Manager's Manual	     MKCOMPOSECACHE(8)

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 comput-
       ing 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 dif-
	 ferent	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 writ-
       ten, though.  This very much depends on the used	libX11 and its	safety
       regulations.
