NAME
htpurge - remove unused documents from the database (general maintenance script)
SYNOPSIS
htpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v]
DESCRIPTION
Htpurge functions to remove specified URLs from the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs,
obsolete documents, etc. It is recommended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents of
this sort.
OPTIONS
- Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with -u). Format of input file is one URL
per line. -a Use alternate work files. Tells htpurge to append .work to database files, causing a
second copy of the database to be built. This allows the original files to be used by htsearch
during the run.
-c configfile
Use the specified configfile instead of the default.
-u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be specified multiple times if more than one
URL are to be removed. Should nor be used together with -.
-v Verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the program. Using more than 2 is probably only
useful for debugging purposes. The default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress
report while digging.
FILES
/etc/htdig/htdig.conf
The default configuration file.
