NAME

       doodled - a daemon to keep your doodle database up-to-date

SYNOPSIS

       doodled [OPTIONS] [FILENAMES]*

DESCRIPTION

       doodled monitors your filesystem for changes and updates the doodle database to keep it always up-to-date
       with the latest data.  doodled is experimental at this point.  It uses libfam  and  is  thus  limited  to
       monitoring less than 1024 directories for changes.

OPTIONS

       -d FILENAME, --database=FILENAME
              use  FILENAME  for  the location of the database (use when building or searching).  This option is
              particularly useful when doodle is used to search different types of files (or  is  operated  with
              different  extractor  options).  Using this option doodle can be used to build specialized indices
              (i.e. one per file system), which can in turn improve search performance.  When searching, you can
              pass a colon-separated list of database file names, in that case all databases are searched.  Note
              that the disk-space consumption of a single database is typically slightly  smaller  than  if  the
              database  is split into multiple files.  Nevertheless, the space-savings are likely to be small (a
              few percent).  You can also use  the environment variable DOODLE_PATH to set the list of  database
              files  to  search.  The option overrides the environment variable if both are used.  If the option
              is not given and DOODLE_PATH is not set, "/var/lib/doodle" is used.

       -D, --debug
              do not detach from the terminal (do not daemonize).  Also will print log messages to stderr if  no
              logfile is specified.

       -f, --filenames
              include filenames (full path) in the set of keywords

       -h, --help
              print help page

       -l LIBRARIES, --library=LIBRARIES
              specify  which  libextractor  plugins  to  use  (for  building  the  index with -b or for printing
              information about files with -e)

       -L FILENAME, --log=FILENAME
              log messages to the given logfile.

       -m LIMIT, --memory=LIMIT
              use at most LIMIT MB of memory for the nodes of the suffix-tree (after that, serialize  to  disk).
              Note  that  a  smaller value will reduce memory consumption but increase the size of the temporary
              file (and slow down indexing).  The default is 8 MB.

       -n, --nodefault
              do not load the default set of plugins (only load plugins specified with -l)

       -P PATH, --prunepaths=PATH
              Directories to not put in the  database,  which  would  otherwise  be.  The  environment  variable
              PRUNEPATHS also sets this value. Default is "/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /dev /proc /sys".  This option
              can also be used when searching, in which case search results in the specified directories will be
              ignored.

       -v, --version
              print the version number

       -V, --verbose
              be verbose

ENVIRONMENT

       DOODLE_PATH
              Colon-separated  list of databases to search.  Note that when building the database this path must
              either only contain one filename or the option -b must be  used  to  specify  the  database  file.
              Default is "/var/lib/doodle".

       PRUNEPATHS
              Space-separated list of paths to exclude.  Can be overridden with the -P option.
