DESCRIPTION¶
Builds an index for the specified GNATS database. The index is printed to
standard output by default.
OPTIONS¶
- -n, --numeric
- Sorts index entries numerically rather than by their order
in the categories list.
- -d databasename,
--database=databasename
- Specifies the database to be indexed. If no database is
specified, the database named default is assumed. This option
overrides the database specified in the GNATSDB environment
variable.
- -o outfile,
--outfile=outfile
- Prints the index to outfile rather than to the
standard output.
- -i, --import
- Import the existing index file instead of re-indexing the
database.
- -e, --export
- Force plaintext output
- -h, --help
- Prints usage for gen-index.
- -V, --version
- Prints the version number of gen-index.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
The
GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to
use. For a local database, it contains the name of the database to access.
For network access via
gnatsd, it contains a colon-separated list of
strings that describe the remote database, in the form
- server:port:databasename:username:password
Any of the fields may be omitted, but at least one colon must appear; otherwise,
the value is assumed to be the name of a local database.
If
GNATSDB is not set, it is assumed that the database is local and that
its name is
default.
