10
12 beagle-build-index, is a tool designed for building static indexes out‐
13 side of the Beagle daemon.
14
15 Running beagle-build-index by hand is of use for those wishing to cre‐
16 ate and build static indexes used by the Beagle daemon. The static
17 indexes can be helpful in many cases but most notably used as system-
18 wide indexes shared by all users, and as a way for system-administra‐
19 tors to run indexing on a central server in a network environment.
20
21 beagle-build-index will index the data specified by the path arguments
22 and create an index in the index_path directory. If a suitable index is
23 found in the index directory, it will automatically append data to the
24 index if the file at hand has been modified since it was last indexed.
25 If it can't find a suitable index (non-existant or version-mismatch) is
26 will purge the directory recursively.
27
28 The beagle-build-index tool is not intended to be invoked by the stan‐
29 dard user.
30
32 beagle-build-index takes the following options
33
34 --recursive
35 If specified, do recursive crawling on the paths specified
36
37 --debug
38 If specified, echo verbose debugging information
39
40 --cache-text
41 If specified, build text-cache of documents used for snippets
42
43 --allow-pattern [pattern]
44 Only allow files that match the pattern to be indexed.
45
46 --deny-pattern [pattern]
47 Keep any files that match the pattern from being indexed.
48
49 --remap [path1:path2]
50 If specified, remap the target path by prefix. path1 will be
51 replaced with path2. This option is intended to be used when
52 generating pre-built indexes, where the final path will be dif‐
53 fer from the current one.
