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

SYNOPSIS

       xapian-compact [OPTIONS] SOURCE_DATABASE... DESTINATION_DATABASE

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       -b, --blocksize
              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

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit
