NAME

ixClean, ixDump, ixFind, ixRemove, ixStat − indexing utilities

DESCRIPTION

These commands, located in /usr/lib/indexing, are utilities for the indices created by ixBuild(1). 

ixClean [-vV][indices ...]
Reorganizes the indices, removing extinct references, and coalescing space. 

vgenerates a listing of the references removed.
Vlists changes to posting lists as well.

ixDump [-p][indices]
Lists all the standard references in the indices. 

plists pointers as well as standard references.

ixFind [-acdefnprstw][files]
For each line on the standard input, submits the contents of the line as a query against each of the files, and prints the resulting list of references on the standard output.  Attempts to open an index against each of the files, unless the s switch is specified.  By default, occurrences of the query text are matched as full words only. 

amatches any occurrence of the query text.
csearches against file contents only.
dsorts the resulting list of references by descripton.
etreats the query strings are regular expressions.
fsearches against file names only.
nsorts the resulting list of references by name.
pmatches occurrences of the query text as prefixes also.
rreverses the sorting direction.
ssearches without index, even if index is present.
tsorts the resulting list of references by type.
wsorts the resulting list of references by weight.

ixRemove [-rv][-i index][files ...]
Removes all references to the named files from the index.  Reads file names from the standard input if none are supplied on the command line. 

iuses index instead of ’./.index’.
rremoves the named files from the filesystem, as well.
vgenerates a listing of the references removed.

ixRepair [-pv][-i index][files ...]
Restores references to the named files in the index.  Reads file names from the standard input if none are supplied on the command line.  ixRepair is effective after ixRemove(1) has removed the named references from the index, and before ixBuild(1) or ixClean(1) has cleaned the index. 

iuses index instead of ’./.index’.
plists pointers repaired as well as standard references.
vgenerates a listing of the references repaired.

ixStat [-rv][indices ...]
Prints statistics about each of the indices.  By default, this is simply the number of keywords, the minimum and maximum number of references associated with any keyword, and the average number of references per keyword. 

rprints the file name registry.
vprints the contents of the posting lists.
