+ * SECTION:cache
+ * @title: Cache
+ * @short_description: basic routines to work with libblkid cache
+ *
+ * Block device information is normally kept in a cache file blkid.tab and is
+ * verified to still be valid before being returned to the user (if the user has
+ * read permission on the raw block device, otherwise not). The cache file also
+ * allows unprivileged users (normally anyone other than root, or those not in the
+ * "disk" group) to locate devices by label/id. The standard location of the
+ * cache file can be overridden by the environment variable BLKID_FILE.
+ *
+ * In situations where one is getting information about a single known device, it
+ * does not impact performance whether the cache is used or not (unless you are
+ * not able to read the block device directly). If you are dealing with multiple
+ * devices, use of the cache is highly recommended (even if empty) as devices will
+ * be scanned at most one time and the on-disk cache will be updated if possible.
+ * There is rarely a reason not to use the cache.
+ *
+ * In some cases (modular kernels), block devices are not even visible until after
+ * they are accessed the first time, so it is critical that there is some way to
+ * locate these devices without enumerating only visible devices, so the use of
+ * the cache file is required in this situation.
