6 tracker-miner-fs - Used to crawl the file system to mine data.

10 tracker-miner-fs [OPTION...]
11
14 tracker-miner-fs is not supposed to be run by the user since it is
15 started by its .desktop file when the user logs in. It can also be
16 started manually of course for debugging purposes. You can not run more
17 than one instance of this at the same time.
18 tracker-miner-fs mines information about applications and files only.

23 -?, --help
24 Show summary of options.
25 -V, --version
27 Returns the version of this binary.
28 -v, --verbosity={0|1|2|3}
30 Sets the logging level, 0=errors, 1=minimal, 2=detailed,
31 3=debug.
32 -s, --initial-sleep=SECONDS
34 Sets the initial sleep time before crawling the file system is
35 started. If the --no-daemon option is used, this option is
36 ignored.
37 -n, --no-daemon
39 Tells the miner to exit once all indexing has finished and the
40 database is up to date. This is not the default mode of opera‐
41 tion for the miner, usually it stays around acting like a daemon
42 to monitor file updates which may occur over time. This option
43 renders the --initial-sleep option moot.
44 -e, --eligible=FILE
46 Checks if FILE is eligible for being mined based on the current
47 configuration rules. In addition to this, it will check if FILE
48 would be monitored for changes. This works with non-existing
49 FILE arguments as well as existing FILE arguments.
50 -d, --disable-miner=MINER
52 Tells the daemon to disable the in-house miners it supports.
53 Depending on build options, this can be 'Files', 'Applications'
54 and 'Userguides'. This option can be provided more than once to
55 diasable multiple miners. Disable in this case means the miner
56 is not started, though all miners still register themselves on
57 D-Bus and appear there, no actual action is performed otherwise
58 (such as crawling, setting up monitors, or checking mtimes
59 against the file system).

63 TRACKER_USE_LOG_FILES
64 Don't just log to stdout and stderr, but to log files too which
65 are kept in $HOME/.local/share/tracker/. This came into effect
66 in 0.15.3 and 0.16.0. After this version of Tracker, logging to
67 file (usually useful for debugging) can only be done by declar‐
68 ing this environment variable.
69 TRACKER_USE_CONFIG_FILES
71 Don't use GSettings, instead use a config file similar to how
72 settings were saved in 0.10.x. That is, a file which is much
73 like an .ini file. These are saved to $HOME/.config/tracker/
74
77 tracker-store(1), tracker-info(1).
