# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**gtk-query-immodules-3.0**  
\[--update-cache]  
\[MODULE...]

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

**gtk-query-immodules-3.0** collects information about loadable input method modules for GTK+ and writes it to the default cache file location, or to stdout.

If called without arguments, it looks for modules in the GTK+ input method module path.

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

Normally, the output of **gtk-query-immodules-3.0** is written to *libdir*/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache, where GTK+ looks for it by default. If it is written to some other location, the **GTK\_IM\_MODULE\_FILE** environment variable can be set to point GTK+ at the file.

Write the output to the default cache location instead of stdout
