The xadump command is a low-level access and diagnostic tool for a Xapian index as organized by the
Recoll indexer. The index directory to be used is specified with option -d.
Options -D, -X, -T and -r take a single docid argument specified with option -i.-D displays the
document data record. -X deletes all index data for the document. -T prints the term list for the
document. Without a docid argument, this option will list the whole index term list. -f can be set to
precede each term with its occurrence count (only if no docid is specified). -n can be set to omit the
enclosing brackets. -l can be set to skip prefixed terms. -r prints the document text as reconstructed
from index data.
When option -x is set, terms are printed with each character separated by a space, which can be useful to
check some encoding issues.
Options -E, -F and -P all need a term argument, specified with -t <term>. -E performs a term existence
test. -F retrieves the term frequency for the given term. -P displays the postings for the given term.
With option -q, xadump performs a simple AND query on the index, using the given term arguments.
