DESCRIPTION
       The xdg-icon-resource program can be used to install icon resources
       into the desktop icon system in order to illustrate menu entries, to
       depict desktop icons or to graphically represent file types.

       The desktop icon system identifies icons by name. Depending on the
       required size, the choice of icon theme and the context in which the
       icon is used, the desktop icon system locates an appropriate icon
       resource to depict an icon. Icon resources can be XPM files or PNG
       files.

       The desktop icon system works according to the XDG Icon Theme
       Specification at
       http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/icon-theme-spec

COMMANDS
       install
	   Installs the icon file indicated by icon-file to the desktop icon
	   system under the name icon-name. Icon names do not have an
	   extension. If icon-name is not provided the name is derived from
	   icon-file. The icon file must have .png or .xpm as extension. If a
	   corresponding .icon file exists in the same location as icon-file
	   it will be installed as well.

       uninstall
	   Removes the icon indicated by icon-name from the desktop icon
	   system. Note that icon names do not have an extension.

       forceupdate
	   Force an update of the desktop icon system. This is only useful if
	   the last call to xdg-icon-resource included the --noupdate option.

OPTIONS
       --noupdate
	   Postpone updating the desktop icon system. If multiple icons are
	   added in sequence this flag can be used to indicate that additional
	   changes will follow and that it is not necessary to update the
	   desktop icon system right away.

       --novendor
	   Normally, xdg-icon-resource checks to ensure that an icon file to
	   be installed in the apps context has a proper vendor prefix. This
	   option can be used to disable that check.

	   A vendor prefix consists of alpha characters ([a-zA-Z]) and is
	   terminated with a dash ("-"). Companies and organizations are
	   encouraged to use a word or phrase, preferably the organizations
	   name, for which they hold a trademark as their vendor prefix. The
	   purpose of the vendor prefix is to prevent name conflicts.

       --theme theme
	   Installs or removes the icon file as part of theme. If no theme is
	   specified the icons will be installed as part of the default
	   hicolor theme. Applications may install icons under multiple themes
	   but should at least install icons for the default hicolor theme.

       --context context
	   Specifies the context for the icon. Icons to be used in the
	   application menu and as desktop icon should use apps as context
	   which is the default context. Icons to be used as file icons should
	   use mimetypes as context. Other common contexts are actions,
	   devices, emblems, filesystems and stock.

       --size size
	   Specifies the size of the icon. All icons must be square. Common
	   sizes for icons in the apps context are: 16, 22, 32, 48, 64 and
	   128. Common sizes for icons in the mimetypes context are: 16, 22,
	   32, 48, 64 and 128

       --mode mode
	   mode can be user or system. In user mode the file is (un)installed
	   for the current user only. In system mode the file is (un)installed
	   for all users on the system. Usually only root is allowed to
	   install in system mode.

	   The default is to use system mode when called by root and to use
	   user mode when called by a non-root user.

       --help
	   Show command synopsis.

       --manual
	   Show this manual page.

       --version
	   Show the xdg-utils version information.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       xdg-icon-resource honours the following environment variables:

       XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL
	   Setting this environment variable to a non-zero numerical value
	   makes xdg-icon-resource do more verbose reporting on stderr.
	   Setting a higher value increases the verbosity.

       XDG_UTILS_INSTALL_MODE
	   This environment variable can be used by the user or administrator
	   to override the installation mode. Valid values are user and
	   system.

EXIT CODES
       An exit code of 0 indicates success while a non-zero exit code
       indicates failure. The following failure codes can be returned:

       1
	   Error in command line syntax.

       2
	   One of the files passed on the command line did not exist.

       3
	   A required tool could not be found.

       4
	   The action failed.

       5
	   No permission to read one of the files passed on the command line.

EXAMPLES
       To install an icon resource to depict a launcher for the application
       myfoobar, the company ShinyThings Inc. can use:

	   xdg-icon-resource install --size 64 shinythings-myfoobar.png

       To install an icon for a new application/x-foobar file type one can
       use:

	   xdg-icon-resource install --context mimetypes --size 48 ./mime-foobar-48.png application-x-foobar
	   xdg-icon-resource install --context mimetypes --size 64 ./mime-foobar-64.png application-x-foobar

       This will install two icons with the name application-x-foobar but with
       different sizes.
