hlload

Synopsis

hlload [options]

Description

hlload reads in an ASCII-text version of the document and word databases in the same form as the -t option of htdig and hldump. Note that this will overwrite data in your databases, so this should be used with great care.

Options

-a
Use alternate work files. Tells hlload to append .work to database files, allowing it to operate on a second set of databases.
-c configfile
Use the specified configfile file instead of the default.
-d
Do not load the document database.
-v
Verbose mode. This doesn't have much effect.
-w
Do not load the word database.
