       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=B
              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
