NAME

6       htmerge  -  create  document  index  and word database for the ht://Dig
7       search engine
8

SYNOPSIS

10       htmerge [options]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Htmerge is used to create a document index and word database  from  the
14       files  that  were  created  by  htdig. These databases are then used by
15       htsearch to perform the actual searched.
16

OPTIONS

18       -a     Use alternate work files. Tells htdig to append .work  to  data‐
19              base  files,  causing a second copy of the database to be built.
20              This allows the original files to be used by htsearch during the
21              indexing run.
22
23       -c configfile
24              Use the specified configfile instead of the default.
25
26       -d     Prevent the document index from being created.
27
28       -s     Print  statistics  about  the  document and word databases after
29              htmerge has finished.
30
31       -v     Run in verbose mode. This will provide  some  hints  as  to  the
32              progress  of  the merge. This can be useful when running htmerge
33              interactively since some parts  (especially  the  word  database
34              creation) can take a very long time.
35
36       -w     Prevent the word database from being created.
37

ENVIRONMENT

39       TMPDIR In  addition  to the command line options, the environment vari‐
40              able TMPDIR will be used to designate the directory where inter‐
41              mediate files are stored during the sorting process.
42

FILES

44       /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
45              The default configuration file.
