.SH NAME
.B ifindex
\- Create nodelist index
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ifindex
.RB [ -h ]
.RB [ -x
.IR verbosity ]
.RB [ -I
.IR file ]
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Ifindex
creates a nodelist index which is used by ifcico for faster nodelist
lookups.
.PP
Depending on the OPTIONS set when compiling the program, one of 3
different nodelist indices will be generated: a
.I db-
a
.I (g)dbm-
or a
.I dbz-
version. The
.I dbz-
type nodelist-index has some advantages (smaller indices and faster
index generation) over the other 2 types but is currently only in
.B PRE-ALPHA
state - you should also read the README before using this type of
nodelist-index.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-h
Display a short help message.

.B Verbosity
may be a number from 0 to 32 to set 'on' bits from 1 to number, or
a string of letters where 'a' = bit 1, 'b' = bit 2, etc. up to bit 26.
