Synopsis

zebraidx [-t type] [-c config] [-g group] [-d database] [-m mbytes] [-n] [-s] [-v level] [-l file] [-L] [-f number] [-v] {command} [file...]

DESCRIPTION

zebraidx allows you to insert, delete or updates records in Zebra. zebraidx accepts a set options (see below) and exactly one command (mandatory).

COMMANDS

update directory

Update the register with the files contained in directory. If no directory is provided, a list of files is read from stdin. See Administration in the Zebra Manual.

delete directory

Remove the records corresponding to the files found under directory from the register.

adelete directory

Remove the records corresponding to the files found under directory from the register. Unlike command delete this command does not fail if a record does not exist (but which is attempted deleted).

commit

Write the changes resulting from the last update commands to the register. This command is only available if the use of shadow register files is enabled (see Shadow Registers in the Zebra Manual).

clean

Clean shadow files and "forget" changes.

create database

Create database.

drop database

Drop database (delete database).

init

Deletes an entire register (all files in shadow+register areas).

OPTIONS

-t type

Update all files as type. Currently, the types supported are text, alvis and grs.subtype. Generally, it is probably advisable to specify the record types in the zebra.cfg file (see Record Types in the Zebra manual), to avoid confusion at subsequent updates.

-c config-file

Read the configuration file config-file instead of zebra.cfg.

-g group

Update the files according to the group settings for group (see Zebra Configuration File in the Zebra manual).

-d database

The records located should be associated with the database name database for access through the Z39.50 server.

-l file

Write log messages to file instead of stderr.

-m mbytes

Use mbytes of memory before flushing keys to background storage. This setting affects performance when updating large databases.

-L

Makes zebraidx skip symbolic links. By default, zebraidx follows them.

-n

Disable the use of shadow registers for this operation (see Shadow Registers in the Zebra manual).

-s

Show analysis of the indexing process. The maintenance program works in a read-only mode and doesn't change the state of the index. This options is very useful when you wish to test a new profile.

-V

Show Zebra version.

-v level

Set the log level to level. level should be one of none, debug, and all.

FILES

zebra.cfg
