htmerge - create document index and word database for the ht://Dig
search engine
Htmerge is used to create a document index and word
database from the files that were created by htdig. These databases
are then used by htsearch to perform the actual searched.
- -a
- Use alternate work files. Tells htdig to append .work to database
files, causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows the
original files to be used by htsearch during the indexing run.
- -c configfile
- Use the specified configfile instead of the default.
- -d
- Prevent the document index from being created.
- -s
- Print statistics about the document and word databases after htmerge has
finished.
- -v
- Run in verbose mode. This will provide some hints as to the progress of
the merge. This can be useful when running htmerge interactively since
some parts (especially the word database creation) can take a very long
time.
- -w
- Prevent the word database from being created.
- TMPDIR
- In addition to the command line options, the environment variable
TMPDIR will be used to designate the directory where intermediate
files are stored during the sorting process.
- /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
- The default configuration file.
