NAME

       tracker-info - Retrieve all information available for a certain file.

SYNOPSIS

       tracker info [options...] <file1> [[file2] ...]

DESCRIPTION

       tracker info asks for all the known metadata available for the given file.

       Multiple file arguments can be provided to retrieve information about multiple files.

       The file argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also does not have to be an absolute path.

OPTIONS

       -f, --full-namespaces
              By  default, all keys and values reported about any given file are returned in shortened form, for
              example,             nie:title             is             shown             instead             of
              http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/01/19/nie#title.   This makes things much easier to
              see generally and the output is less cluttered. This option reverses that so FULL  namespaces  are
              shown instead.

       -c, --plain-text-content
              If  the  resource being displayed has nie:PlainTextContent (i.e.  information about the content of
              the resource, which could be the contents of a file on the disk), then this option  displays  that
              in the output.

       -i, --resource-is-iri
              In  most  cases, the file argument supplied points to a URL or PATH which is queried for according
              to the resource associated with it by nie:url. However, in cases where the  file  specified  turns
              out  to  be  the actual URN itself, this argument is required to tell "tracker info" not to do the
              extra step of looking up the URN related by nie:url.

              For example, consider that you store URNs by the actual URL itself and use the unique  nie:url  in
              another  resource (which is quite reasonable when using containers and multi-resource conditions),
              you would need this argument to tell "tracker info" that the file supplied is actually a  URN  not
              URL.

       -t, --turtle
              Output  results  as Turtle RDF. If -f is enabled, full URIs are shown for subjects, predicates and
              objects; otherwise, shortened URIs are used, and all the prefixes Tracker knows about are  printed
              at the top of the output.

ENVIRONMENT

       TRACKER_SPARQL_BACKEND
              This option allows you to choose which backend you use for connecting to the database. This choice
              can limit your functionality. There are three settings.

              With "direct" the connection to the database is made directly to the  file  itself  on  the  disk,
              there is no intermediary daemon or process. The "direct" approach is purely read-only.

              With  "bus"  the tracker-store process is used to liase with the database queuing all requests and
              managing the connections via an IPC / D-Bus. This adds a small  overhead  BUT  this  is  the  only
              approach you can use if you want to write to the database.

              With "auto" the backend is decided for you, much like it would be if this environment variable was
              undefined.

       TRACKER_PRAGMAS_FILE
              Tracker has a fixed set of  PRAGMA  settings  for  creating  its  SQLite  connection.   With  this
              environment  variable  pointing  to  a text file you can override these settings. The file is a \n
              separated list of SQLite queries to execute on any newly created  SQLite  connection  in  tracker-
              store.
