# cached(8)

daemon to store indexing information

## NAME

cached - daemon to store indexing information

## SYNOPSIS

**cached** \[*options*\] \[*configfile*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**cached** is a TCP daemon which collects word information from indexes and stores it on your hard disk, optionally making fast word indexes **cachelogd** daemon that logs the data only.  The second and default modes is where the **cachelogd** and **splitter** functionality are combined.

**cached** listens to TCP connections and can accept several indexers from different machines. Theoretical number of indexers is about 128. In old modes,  **cached** stores information sent by indexers in */var/raw/* directory of mnoGoSearch installation. In new mode, it stores it in */var/tree* directory.

The various **indexer** programs that you then start need to be told to use the cachemode daemon, see the cachemode document described below for more details on how to use the programs together.

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