DESCRIPTION
Sphinx is a collection of programs that aim to provide high quality fulltext search. indexer fetches all
documents from the configured sources and creates the index data files.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format, see below.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes
(`-'). A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the HTML documentation.
--config Specify an alternate configuration file to use.
--all Causes indexer to (re-)index all indexes, instead of the specified ones.
--quiet Suppress all non-error output.
--noprogress
Suppress progress information.
-h --help
Show summary of options.
--rotate Writes index data files as INDEX.new files and sends a SIGHUP to searchd, causing it to rotate
the index files.
SEE ALSO
search (1), searchd (1).
Sphinx and it's programs are documented fully by the Spinx reference manual available in
/usr/share/doc/sphinxsearch.
