NAME

       tracker-index - List, pause, resume and command data miners indexing content

SYNOPSIS

       tracker index --reindex-mime-type <mime1> [[-m [mime2]] ...]
       tracker index --file <file1> [[file2] ...]
       tracker index --import <file1> [[file2] ...]
       tracker index --backup <file> | --restore <file>

DESCRIPTION

       This  command perform actions on the current index. The "index" holds a snapshot of the working tree in a
       database.

       The index command allows some level of control on existing data indexed, such as re-indexing content from
       a specific demographic - e.g. all JPEG images, or simply reindexing an existing or non-existent file.

       It may be a good idea to backup your index before an upgrade in case there is  data  loss  (which  should
       never  happen).  In  those  cases, the backup command is made available and of course the restore command
       will import an older data set (or index) into an empty index.

       Finally, there is an import feature which makes testing or applying  a  "base"  data  set  for  use  much
       easier.

OPTIONS

       -m, --reindex-mime-type=<mime1> [[-m [mime2]] ...]
              Re-index  files  which  match  the  mime  type  supplied. This is usually used when installing new
              extractors which support mime types previously unsupported. This forces Tracker to re-index  those
              files. You can use --reindex-mime-type more than once per mime type.

       -f, --index=<file1> [[file2] ...]
              (Re)index a file matching the file name(s) supplied.

       -b, --backup=<file>
              Begins backing up the Tracker databases and save it to the file given.

       -o, --restore=<file>
              Begins  restoring  a  previous  backup  from  the  file which points to the location of the backup
              generated by --backup.

       i, --import=<file1> [[file2] ...]
              Allows data to be imported into the index / database by providing files with Turtle content.

              Multiple file arguments can be provided to import data from multiple files.

              The file argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also does not have  to  be  an  absolute
              path.
