Description
As https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/scancode/cli.py#L1043 states, there is an open `TODO` for controlling the cache.
I'm using scancode in an environment where `~/.cache` should *NOT* be used for storing any kind of artifacts.
Please add one of the following options
- disable caching in total (as stated by the linked TODO)
- option to specify the caching directory via CLI
