# bkl-orbiter(1)

daemon to watching sources that need to be indexed

## NAME

bkl-orbiter — daemon to watching sources that need to be indexed

## SYNOPSIS

**bkl-orbiter**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **bkl-orbiter** command.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**bkl-orbiter** is a daemon that always run and  keeps track of various sources, watching for files on the sources  that need to be indexed. When the daemon has found something that  needs extracting, it starts the bkl-investigator. bkl-investigator  scans the file for metadata and sends back to the orbiter.  The orbiter puts this metadata into the database.

Currently the sources that bkl-orbiter can watch are

- GConf

  For local filesystems

- Removable media

  For CD/DVDs and removable storage devices

- UPnP

  For UPnP based media servers on the local network
