DESCRIPTION

        kbuildsycoca4, as part of the  KDE  command  line  tools  ensures  the
       proper  operation  of  KDE  by  reading  in all the .desktop, .xml, and
       .protocol files to construct a binary database.

        KDE  itself  accesses  this  database  during  operation  to   provide
       configuration information a program needs to run.

       This   tool   is   part  of  ksycoca4,  which  stands  for  KDE  System
       Configuration Cache
