<p>
This manual page documents briefly the <span class="command"><strong>appstream-index</strong></span> command.
</p>
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>appstream-index</strong></span> manages the AppStream index. The AppStream component
index contains a list of all available applications for your distribution, matched with their
native package names.
It is generated using either AppStream-XML, Debian-DEP-11 or Ubuntu AppInstall data, which is provided
by your distributor.
</p>
<p>
For more information about the AppStream project and the other components which are part of it, take a look at
the AppStream pages at <a class="ulink" href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/" target="_top">Freedesktop.org</a>.
