SYNOPSIS

       xapian-compact [OPTIONS] SOURCE_DATABASE... DESTINATION_DATABASE

DESCRIPTION

       xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several

OPTIONS

       -b, --blocksize=B
              Set  the  blocksize in bytes (e.g. 4096) or K (e.g. 4K) (must be between 2K and 64K and a power of
              2, default 8K)

       -n, --no-full
              Disable full compaction

       -F, --fuller
              Enable fuller compaction (not recommended if you plan to update the compacted database)

       -m, --multipass
              If merging more than 3 databases, merge the postlists  in  multiple  passes  (which  is  generally
              faster but requires more disk space for temporary files)

       --no-renumber
              Preserve  the  numbering  of document ids (useful if you have external references to them, or have
              set them to match unique ids from an external source).  Currently this option  is  only  supported
              when merging databases if they have disjoint ranges of used document ids

       -s, --single-file
              Produce a single file database (not supported for chert)

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit
