<a name="id-1.4.26.2.5"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p><span class="command"><strong>gio-querymodules</strong></span> creates a
<code class="filename">giomodule.cache</code> file in the listed directories.
This file lists the implemented extension points for each module
that has been found. It is used by GIO at runtime to avoid opening
all modules just to find out which extension points they are implementing.
</p>
<p>
GIO modules are usually installed in the <code class="filename">gio/modules</code>
subdirectory of libdir.
