# gtk-query-immodules-2.0(1)

Input method module registration utility

## NAME

gtk-query-immodules-2.0 - Input method module registration utility

## SYNOPSIS

**gtk-query-immodules-2.0** \[--update-cache\] \[module...\]

## DESCRIPTION

**gtk-query-immodules-2.0** 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-2.0** is written to *libdir*/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules.cache, where GTK+ looks for it by default. If it is written to some other location, the environment variable **GTK\_IM\_MODULE\_FILE** can be set to point GTK+ at the file.

## OPTIONS

- \--update-cache

  Write the output to the default cache location instead of stdout

## ENVIRONMENT

The environment variable **GTK\_PATH** can be used to prepend directories to the input method module path.

## BUGS

None known yet.
