DESCRIPTION

18       rwhois_indexer  takes  the  raw text files and creates indexes based on
19       the attribute definitions of the particular class  defined  within  the
20       rwhois  dataset.  It  creates  two files with the first being a list of
21       text files that have been indexed. The second is a sorted list  of  all
22       the  attributes and their record offsets within their respective files.
23       This sorting is accomplished by using sort(1).

28
29       -C     The  class or schema name of the objects to be indexed.  This is
30              required for indexing by file.  It  acts  as  a  resctrictor  if
31              indexing by suffix.
32
33       -A     The authority area of the objects to be index.  This is required
34              for indexing by file. It acts as a  restrictor  if  indexing  by
35              suffix.

42              first.
43
44       -s     Suffix mode. Indexes all files in all data  directories  (unless
45              restricted by a -C or a -A option) ending in "suffix"
