hlmerge

Synopsis

Description

Options

-a

Use alternate work files. Tells hldig to append .work to database files, causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows the original files to be used by htsearch during the indexing run.

-c configfile

Use the specified configuration file instead of the default.

-d

Prevent the document index from being created.

-m merge_configfile

Merge the databases specified by merge_configfile into the databases specified by -c or the default. You will need a separate config file for each of the two databases. Then each file will set the database_dir or database_base attribute to change the name of the databases, so they are in different directories or files.
Note: You must run hlmerge separately on each of the databases created by hldig before merging them together with this option. This is because merging the two wordlists together requires wordlists that have already been cleaned up by hlmerge. Because the -m option allows you to specify only one database to be merged into the other, and only one -m option may be specified, if you need to merge three or more databases together you must run hlmerge multiple times with the -m option.

-s

Print statistics about the document and word databases after hlmerge has finished.

-v

Run in verbose mode. This will provide some hints as to the progress of the merge. This can be useful when running hlmerge interactively since some parts (especially the word database creation) can take a very long time.

-w

Prevent the word database from being created.

Files

CONFIG_DIR/htdig.conf

The default configuration file.
