UCACHE(1)

NAME
ucache - List and remove objects in the Application cache

SYNOPSIS
ucache

DESCRIPTION
After being downloaded, the program ucache will cache itself as a global command and exits. The user can access the command through the More submenu under the item ucache displayed with a garbage can icon. An arrow from the item directs the user to a submenu that lists sequentially all objects (commands and applications) that are currently in the terminal's Application cache.

The names listed in the ucache submenu are the menu names of the objects. Menu names are names that cached applications use to advertise themselves in the More menu. They may be different from tag names which uniquely identify an object in the Application cache. (For further discussion, see cache(3L).) If an object in the Application cache does not have a menu name, its tag name is displayed instead.

Items in the ucache submenu may be greyed. Greyed items mean they cannot be selected for removal because:

—   they have been cached with the A_PERMANENT bit set (see cache(3L)). In this case, the item names are displayed with a lock icon, and they can never be uncached by ucache.
    or

—   they have been requested (used) by some running process. If all processes using the object exit or are deleted, then the item's name corresponding to the object will be un-greyed.

Items that are not greyed can be selected for removal. All caching information concerning the object will be erased and the memory freed. Note that ucache can remove itself from the Application cache.
