NAME¶
tracker-miner-fs - Used to crawl the file system to mine data.
SYNOPSIS¶
tracker-miner-fs [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION¶
tracker-miner-fs is not supposed to be run by the user since it is
started by its .desktop file when the user logs in. It can also be started
manually of course for debugging purposes. You can not run more than one
instance of this at the same time.
tracker-miner-fs mines information about applications and
files only.
OPTIONS¶
- -?, --help
- Show summary of options.
- -V, --version
- Returns the version of this binary.
- -v, --verbosity={0|1|2|3}
- Sets the logging level, 0=errors, 1=minimal, 2=detailed, 3=debug.
- -s, --initial-sleep=SECONDS
- Sets the initial sleep time before crawling the file system is started. If
the --no-daemon option is used, this option is ignored.
- -n, --no-daemon
- Tells the miner to exit once all indexing has finished and the database is
up to date. This is not the default mode of operation for the miner,
usually it stays around acting like a daemon to monitor file updates which
may occur over time. This option renders the --initial-sleep option
moot.
- -e, --eligible=FILE
- Checks if FILE is eligible for being mined based on the current
configuration rules. In addition to this, it will check if FILE
would be monitored for changes. This works with non-existing FILE
arguments as well as existing FILE arguments.
- -d, --disable-miner=MINER
- Tells the daemon to disable the in-house miners it supports. Depending on
build options, this can be 'Files', 'Applications' and 'Userguides'. This
option can be provided more than once to diasable multiple miners. Disable
in this case means the miner is not started, though all miners still
register themselves on D-Bus and appear there, no actual action is
performed otherwise (such as crawling, setting up monitors, or checking
mtimes against the file system).
ENVIRONMENT¶
- TRACKER_USE_LOG_FILES
- Don't just log to stdout and stderr, but to log files too which are kept
in $HOME/.local/share/tracker/. This came into effect in 0.15.3 and
0.16.0. After this version of Tracker, logging to file (usually useful for
debugging) can only be done by declaring this environment variable.
- TRACKER_USE_CONFIG_FILES
- Don't use GSettings, instead use a config file similar to how settings
were saved in 0.10.x. That is, a file which is much like an .ini file.
These are saved to $HOME/.config/tracker/
