NAME

       kded4 - KDE daemon - triggers Sycoca database updates when needed.

SYNOPSIS

       kded4 [--help] [Generic options] [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [--check]

DESCRIPTION

        kded4  is  responsible  for  creating the sycoca file, i.e. the binary
       cache of servicetypes, mimetypes, and services for a particular user.

       It monitors the directories containing .desktop files. When a  file  is
       added/removed,  it  waits 5 seconds (in case of series of updates), and
       then launches kbuildsycoca.

APPLICATION OPTIONS

       --check
              Check Sycoca database only once.

USAGE

       If kded4 is called without parameters and is already running, it  shows
       the message:

              KDE Daemon (kded) already running.

       If  kded4  is called with kded4 --check, then it updates the KDE sycoca
       using kbuildsycoca.
