NAME
bup-bloom - generates, regenerates, updates bloom filters
SYNOPSIS
bup bloom [-d dir] [-o outfile] [-k hashes] [-c idxfile] [-f] [--ruin]
DESCRIPTION
bup bloom builds a bloom filter file for a bup repository. If one already exists, it checks the filter
and updates or regenerates it as needed.
OPTIONS
--ruin destroy bloom filters by setting the whole bitmask to zeros. you really want to know what you are
doing if run this and you want to delete the resulting bloom when you are done with it.
-f, --force
don't update the existing bloom file; generate a new one from scratch.
-d, --dir=directory
the directory, containing .idx files, to process. Defaults to $BUP_DIR/objects/pack
-o, --outfile=outfile
the file to write the bloom filter to. defaults to $dir/bup.bloom
-k, --hashes=hashes
number of hash functions to use only 4 and 5 are valid. defaults to 5 for repositories < 2 TiB,
or 4 otherwise. See comments in git.py for more on this value.
-c, --check=idxfile
checks the bloom file (counterintuitively outfile) against the specified .idx file, first checks
that the bloom filter is claiming to contain the .idx, then checks that it does actually contain
all of the objects in the .idx. Does not write anything and ignores the -k option.
BUP
Part of the bup(1) suite.
