<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.
