# wn\_uncache(1)

decompile access control file for wn HTTP server

## NAME

wn\_uncache - decompile access control file for wn HTTP server

## SYNOPSIS

**wn\_uncache**

## DESCRIPTION

**wn\_uncache** is a [**perl**(1)](/perl/1.md) program that is part of the [**wn**(1)](/wn/1.md) HTTP server package. **wn\_uncache** reverses the action of the [**wndex**(1)](/wndex/1.md) program. It will convert an *index.cache* file to an *index* file. It read from its standard input and writes to its standard output.

When invoked with:

```
        wn_uncache <index.cache >index
```

it will create a file named *index* (overwriting any other file of that name). This file may not be identical to the original *index* file used to create *index.cache* but when wndex (1) is run on this new *index* it should produce an *index.cache* identical to the one used as input for the **wn\_uncache** program.

## FILES

- *index*

  Input file to [**wndex**(1)](/wndex/1.md) and output from the **wn\_uncache** program.

- *index.cache*

  Output file from [**wndex**(1)](/wndex/1.md) and input to the **wn\_uncache** program which defines access control for directory.
