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 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 run-
       ning and DISPLAY has to be set correctly for creating cache files.

     -
       libX11  will not write compose cache files if run as root or with differ-
       ent 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 regula-
     tions.
