<para>

<command>gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders</command> collects information about

loadable modules for <application>gdk-pixbuf</application> and writes it to

the default cache file location, or to <filename>stdout</filename>.

</para>

<para>

If called without arguments, it looks for modules in the

<application>gdk-pixbuf</application> loader directory.

</para>

<para>

If called with arguments, it looks for the specified modules. The arguments

may be absolute or relative paths.

</para>

<para>

Normally, the output of <command>gdk-pixbuf-queryloaders</command> is written

to <filename><replaceable>libdir</replaceable>/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache</filename>, where <application>gdk-pixbuf</application> looks for it by default. If it is written to some other

location, the environment variable <link linkend="GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE"><envar>GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE</envar></link>

can be set to point <application>gdk-pixbuf</application> at the file.
