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.
