| 77 <para> |
| 78 The xdg-icon-resource program can be used to install icon resources |
| 79 into the desktop icon system in order to illustrate menu entries, |
| 80 to depict desktop icons or to graphically represent file types. |
| 81 </para> |
| 82 <para> |
| 83 The desktop icon system identifies icons by name. Depending on the |
| 84 required size, the choice of icon theme and the context in which the |
| 85 icon is used, the desktop icon system locates an appropriate |
| 86 icon resource to depict an icon. Icon resources can be XPM files or |
| 87 PNG files. |
| 88 </para> |
| 89 <para> |
| 90 The desktop icon system works according to the |
| 91 XDG Icon Theme Specification at |
| 92 http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec |

| 157 Normally, xdg-icon-resource checks to ensure that an icon file |
| 158 to be installed in the <emphasis>apps</emphasis> context has |
| 159 a proper vendor prefix. This option can be used to disable |
| 160 that check. |
| 161 </simpara> |
| 162 <simpara> |
| 163 A vendor prefix consists of alpha characters ([a-zA-Z]) and is |
| 164 terminated with a dash ("-"). |
| 165 Companies and organizations are encouraged to use a word |
| 166 or phrase, preferably the organizations name, for which they hold |
| 167 a trademark as their vendor prefix. |
| 168 The purpose of the vendor prefix is to prevent name conflicts. |
