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/Standards/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 necassery to
              update the desktop icon system right away.

       --novendor
              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 manualpage.

       --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.

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.
