.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B recollindex
utility allows you to perform indexing operations for the Recoll text
search system.
.PP
The
.B \-c
option specifies the configuration directory name, overriding the
default or $RECOLL_CONFDIR.
.PP
There are several modes of operation.
.PP
The normal mode will index the set of files described in the configuration
file
.B recoll.conf.
This will incrementally update the database with files that changed since
the last run. If option
.B \-z
is given, the database will be erased before starting. If option
.B \-Z
is given, the database will not be reset, but all files will be considered
as needing reindexing (in place reset).
.PP
If option
.B
\-m
is given, recollindex is started for real time monitoring, using the
file system monitoring package it was configured for (either fam, gamin, or
inotify). This mode must have been explicitly configured when building the
package, it is not available by default. The program will normally detach
from the controlling terminal and become a daemon. If option
.B
\-D
is given, it will stay in the foreground. Option
.B
\-w
<seconds> can be used to specify that the program should sleep for the
specified time before indexing begins. The default value is 60. The daemon
normally monitors the X11 session and exits when it is reset.
Option
.B
\-x
disables this X11 session monitoring (daemon will stay alive even if it
cannot connect to the X11 server). You need to use this too if you use the
daemon without an X11 context. You can use option
.B
\-n
to skip the initial incrementing pass which is normally performed before
monitoring starts. Once monitoring is started, the daemon normally monitors
the configuration and restarts from scratch if a change is made. You can
disable this with option
.B
\-C
.PP
.B recollindex \-i
will index individual files into the database. The stem expansion and
aspell databases will not be updated. The skippedPaths and skippedNames
configuration variables will be used, so that some files may be
skipped. You can tell recollindex to ignore skippedPaths and skippedNames
by setting the
.B
\-f
option. This allows fully custom file selection for a given subtree,
for which you would add the top directory to skippedPaths, and use any
custom tool to generate the file list (ie: a tool from a source code
control system).
.PP
.PP
.B recollindex \-e
will erase data for individual files from the database. The stem expansion
databases will not be updated.
.PP
With options
.B \-i
or
.B \-e
, if no file names are given on the command line, they
will be read from stdin, so that you could for example run:
.PP
find /path/to/dir \-print | recollindex \-e
.PP
followed by
.PP
find /path/to/dir \-print | recollindex \-i
.PP
to force the reindexing of a directory tree (which has to exist inside the
file system area defined by
.I topdirs
in recoll.conf). You could mostly accomplish the same thing with
.PP
.B find /path/to/dir \-print | recollindex \-f \-Z
.PP
.B recollindex \-r
mostly works like \-i, but the parameter is a single directory, which will
be recursively updated. This mostly does nothing more than
.B find topdir | recollindex \-i
but it may be more convenient to use when started from another program.
.PP
.B recollindex \-l
will list the names of available language stemmers.
.PP
.B recollindex \-s
will build the stem expansion database for a given language, which may or
may not be part of the list in the configuration file. If the language is
not part of the configuration, the stem expansion database will be deleted
at the end of the next normal indexing run. You can get the list of stemmer
names from the
.B recollindex \-l
command. Note that this is mostly for experimental use, the normal way to
add a stemming language is to set it in the configuration, either by
editing "recoll.conf" or by using the GUI indexing configuration dialog.

will rebuild the phonetic/orthographic index. This feature uses the
.B aspell
package, which must be installed on the system.
