NAME

       tracker-miner-fs - Used to crawl the file system to mine data.

SYNOPSIS

       tracker-miner-fs [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       tracker-miner-fs is not supposed to be run by the user since it is started by its .desktop
       file when the user logs in. It can also  be  started  manually  of  course  for  debugging
       purposes. You can not run more than one instance of this at the same time.

       tracker-miner-fs mines information about applications and files only.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
              Show summary of options.

       -V, --version
              Returns the version of this binary.

       -v, --verbosity={0|1|2|3}
              Sets the logging level, 0=errors, 1=minimal, 2=detailed, 3=debug.

       -s, --initial-sleep=SECONDS
              Sets  the  initial  sleep  time  before crawling the file system is started. If the
              --no-daemon option is used, this option is ignored.

       -n, --no-daemon
              Tells the miner to exit once all indexing has finished and the database  is  up  to
              date.  This  is  not  the default mode of operation for the miner, usually it stays
              around acting like a daemon to monitor file updates which may occur over time. This
              option renders the --initial-sleep option moot.

       -e, --eligible=FILE
              Checks  if  FILE  is  eligible  for  being mined based on the current configuration
              rules. In addition to this, it will check if FILE would be monitored  for  changes.
              This works with non-existing FILE arguments as well as existing FILE arguments.

       -d, --disable-miner=MINER
              Tells  the  daemon  to  disable the in-house miners it supports. Depending on build
              options, this can be 'Files', 'Applications' and 'Userguides'. This option  can  be
              provided more than once to diasable multiple miners. Disable in this case means the
              miner is not started, though all miners still  register  themselves  on  D-Bus  and
              appear there, no actual action is performed otherwise (such as crawling, setting up
              monitors, or checking mtimes against the file system).

ENVIRONMENT

       TRACKER_USE_LOG_FILES
              Don't just log to stdout and stderr, but  to  log  files  too  which  are  kept  in
              $HOME/.local/share/tracker/. This came into effect in 0.15.3 and 0.16.0. After this
              version of Tracker, logging to file (usually useful for debugging) can only be done
              by declaring this environment variable.

       TRACKER_USE_CONFIG_FILES
              Don't  use  GSettings, instead use a config file similar to how settings were saved
              in 0.10.x. That is, a file which is much like an .ini file.   These  are  saved  to
              $HOME/.config/tracker/
