DESCRIPTION

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
19       tracker-miner-fs mines information about applications and files only.

OPTIONS

23       -?, --help
24              Show summary of options.
25
26       -V, --version
27              Returns the version of this binary.
28
29       -v, --verbosity={0|1|2|3}
30              Sets  the  logging  level,  0=errors,   1=minimal,   2=detailed,
31              3=debug.
32
33       -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
38       -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
45       -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.

ENVIRONMENT

53       TRACKER_USE_LOG_FILES
54              Don't just log to stdout and stderr, but to log files too  which
55              are  kept  in $HOME/.local/share/tracker/. This came into effect
56              in 0.15.3 and 0.16.0. After this version of Tracker, logging  to
57              file  (usually useful for debugging) can only be done by declar‐
58              ing this environment variable.
59
60       TRACKER_USE_CONFIG_FILES
61              Don't use GSettings, instead use a config file  similar  to  how
62              settings  were  saved  in  0.10.x. That is, a file which is much
63              like an .ini file.  These are saved to $HOME/.config/tracker/
