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/
