    --update-cache
    MODULE

## Description

`gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders` collects information about loadable modules for gdk-pixbuf and writes it to the default cache file location, or to `stdout`.

If called without arguments, it looks for modules in the gdk-pixbuf loader directory.

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

Normally, the output of `gdk-pixbuf-queryloaders` is written to ``libdir`/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache`, where gdk-pixbuf looks for it by default. If it is written to some other location, the environment variable `GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE` can be set to point gdk-pixbuf at the file.

## Options

--update-cache

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

## Environment

The environment variable `GDK_PIXBUF_MODULEDIR` can be used to specify a different loader directory. The default gdk-pixbuf loader directory is ``libdir`/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/`version`/loaders`.
