[-a|--all] [-j|--json] [-l|--linger] command |
AssetCacheManagerUtil controls the macOS
Content Cache. AssetCacheManagerUtil must be run by
root except as noted below. The options are:
- -a|--all
- Show all events, not just the end result of the specified
command.
- -j|--json
- Print results in machine-parseable JSON format to stdout.
- -l|--linger
- Linger after completing command, to show other
events.
The commands are:
- activate
- Activates the content cache. Content caching is deactivated by default.
After you activate content caching, restart devices on your network to
take advantage of content caching immediately. Devices on your network
will discover this content cache over time. Devices that are restarted
will use this content cache immediately.
- deactivate
- Deactivates the content cache.
- isActivated
- Reports the content cache's activation status. Does not require root.
- canActivate
- Reports whether the content cache is eligible for activation. Does not
require root.
- flushCache
- Flushes the content cache.
- flushPersonalCache
- Flushes all personal (iCloud) content from the content cache.
- flushSharedCache
- Flushes all shared (non-iCloud) content from the content cache.
- status
- Reports the content cache's status. Does not require root.
- settings
- Reports the content cache's settings. Does not require root.
- reloadSettings
- Forces the content cache to reload its settings.
- moveCacheTo path
- Moves the cache to path. The path must end with
/Library/Application Support/Apple/AssetCache/Data. The contents of
path are deleted and replaced with the cache.
- absorbCacheFrom path read-only|and-destroy
- Imports the cache from path. The path must end with
either /Library/Application Support/Apple/AssetCache/Data or
/Library/Server/Caching/Data. If the last argument is
read-only the cache at path is
not modified, otherwise it is emptied. This command only starts the
absorption, which proceeds and finishes in the background. Use the
log(1) command to view progress, for
example: log show --predicate 'subsystem ==
"com.apple.AssetCache"' --style compact --last 5m
