zebraidx allows you to insert, delete or updates records in
Zebra. zebraidx accepts a set options (see below) and exactly one
command (mandatory).
update directory
Update the register with the files contained in
directory. If no directory is provided, a list of files is read from
stdin. See Administration in the Zebra Manual.
delete directory
Remove the records corresponding to the files found under
directory from the register.
adelete directory
Remove the records corresponding to the files found under
directory from the register. Unlike command delete this command does
not fail if a record does not exist (but which is attempted deleted).
commit
Write the changes resulting from the last update commands
to the register. This command is only available if the use of shadow register
files is enabled (see Shadow Registers in the Zebra Manual).
check options
Runs consistency check of register. May take a long time.
Options may be one of quick, default or full.
clean
Clean shadow files and "forget" changes.
create database
Create database.
drop database
Drop database (delete database).
init
Deletes an entire register (all files in shadow+register
areas).
-c config-file
Read the configuration file config-file instead of
zebra.cfg.
-d database
The records located should be associated with the
database name database for access through the Z39.50 server.
-f number
Specify how many per-record log lines, zebraidx, should
produce during indexing and during register check (check command). If this
option is not given, a value of 1000 is used.
-g group
Update the files according to the group settings for
group (see Zebra Configuration File in the Zebra manual).
-l file
Write log messages to file instead of
stderr.
-L
Makes zebraidx skip symbolic links. By default, zebraidx
follows them.
-m mbytes
Use mbytes of memory before flushing keys to
background storage. This setting affects performance when updating large
databases.
-n
Disable the use of shadow registers for this operation
(see Shadow Registers in the Zebra manual).
-s
Show analysis of the indexing process. The maintenance
program works in a read-only mode and doesn't change the state of the index.
This options is very useful when you wish to test a new profile.
-t type
Update all files as type. Currently, the types
supported are text, alvis and grs.subtype. Generally, it is probably
advisable to specify the record types in the zebra.cfg file (see Record Types
in the Zebra manual), to avoid confusion at subsequent updates.
-V
Show Zebra version.
-v level
Set the log level to level. level should be
one of none, debug, and all.
