5. Running the Maintenance Interface (zebraidx)

The following is a complete reference to the command line interface to the zebraidx application.

Syntax

$ zebraidx [options] command [directory] ...
Options
-t type

Update all files as type. Currently, the types supported are text and grs.subtype. If no subtype is provided for the GRS (General Record Structure) type, the canonical input format is assumed (see section Local Representation). Generally, it is probably advisable to specify the record types in the zebra.cfg file (see section Record Types), to avoid confusion at subsequent updates.

-c config-file

Read the configuration file config-file instead of zebra.cfg.

-g group

Update the files according to the group settings for group (see section The Zebra Configuration File).

-d database

The records located should be associated with the database name database for access through the Z39.50 server.

-m mbytes

Use mbytes of megabytes before flushing keys to background storage. This setting affects performance when updating large databases.

-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.

-V

Show Zebra version.

-v level

Set the log level to level. level should be one of none, debug, and all.

Commands

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 section Administrating Zebra.
