htmerge - create document index and word database for the ht://Dig search engine

       This manual page was written by Christian Schwarz, modified  by  Stijn  de  Bekker,  based  on  the  HTML
       documentation of ht://Dig.

                                                  21 July 1997                                        htmerge(1)

Htmerge  is  used to create a document index and word database from the files that were created by htdig.
       These databases are then used by htsearch to perform the actual searched.

TMPDIR In addition to the command line options, the environment variable TMPDIR will be used to designate
              the directory where intermediate files are stored during the sorting process.

/etc/htdig/htdig.conf
              The default configuration file.

-a     Use alternate work files. Tells htdig 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
              indexing run.

       -cconfigfile
              Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

       -d     Prevent the document index from being created.

       -s     Print statistics about the document and word databases after htmerge has finished.

       -v     Run in verbose mode. This will provide some hints as to the progress of the  merge.  This  can  be
              useful when running htmerge interactively since some parts (especially the word database creation)
              can take a very long time.

       -w     Prevent the word database from being created.

       Please  refer  to  the HTML pages (in the htdig-doc package) /usr/share/doc/htdig-doc/html/index.html and
       the manual pages htdig(1) and htsearch(1) for a detailed description of ht://Dig and its commands.
