GTK+ 3 Reference Manual: gtk-query-immodules-3.0

## gtk-query-immodules-3.0 gtk-query-immodules-3.0 — Input method module registration utility |

## Synopsis

`gtk-query-immodules-3.0` [--update-cache] [MODULE...]

## Description

gtk-query-immodules-3.0 collects information about loadable input method modules for GTK+ and writes it to the default cache file location, or to `stdout`.

If called without arguments, it looks for modules in the GTK+ input method module path.

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

Normally, the output of gtk-query-immodules-3.0 is written to ``libdir`/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache`, where GTK+ looks for it by default. If it is written to some other location, the `GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE` environment variable can be set to point GTK+ at the file.

## Options

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

## Files

``libdir`/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache` | The default im cache file used by GTK+ applications

## Environment

`GTK_PATH` | Prepends directories to the input method module path
`GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE` | Specifies an alternative im module cache for GTK+ applications
