NAME
xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several
SYNOPSIS
xapian-compact [OPTIONS] SOURCE_DATABASE... DESTINATION_DATABASE
DESCRIPTION
xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several
OPTIONS
- -b, --blocksize=B
-
Set the blocksize in bytes (e.g. 4096) or K (e.g. 4K) (must be between 2K and 64K and a power of 2, default 8K)
- -B, --backend=B
-
Set the output backend. Supported values are 'glass' and 'honey'. By default input's backend is used. At present only glass to honey conversion is implemented - otherwise the backend must be the same.
- -n, --no-full
-
Disable full compaction
- -F, --fuller
-
No effect for glass since Xapian 1.4.31
- -m, --multipass
-
If merging more than 3 databases, merge the postlists in multiple passes (which is generally faster but requires more disk space for temporary files)
- --no-renumber
-
Preserve the numbering of document ids (useful if you have external references to them, or have set them to match unique ids from an external source). Currently this option is only supported when merging databases if they have disjoint ranges of used document ids
- -s, --single-file
-
Produce a single file database
- --help
-
display this help and exit
- --version
-
output version information and exit
