SYNOPSIS

       trackerd [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Trackerd  provides  both  a powerful indexer and an extensible metadata
       database. It indexes files including the text contents and  any  avail-
       able metadata to provide fast search services.

       By  default,  trackerd  will index all files in a user's home directory
       (with the exception of hidden files). This can be overridden by  speci-
       fying  one  or more directories to be indexed instead in the configura-
       tion  file  ($HOME/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg)  and/or  by  using  the
       --include-dir option to specify other directories to be indexed.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
              A brief help message including some examples.


       -e, --exclude-dir=/PATH/DIR
              Specifies  a  directory  to be excluded from indexing (including
              all subdirectories). Can be repeated to exclude  more  than  one
              directory.


       -i, --include-dir=/PATH/DIR
              Specifies  a directory to be included for indexing. All non-hid-
              den subdirectories of  the  specified  directory  will  also  be
              indexed.  If this param is set then the user's home directory is
              no longer indexed by default (you can still add the home  direc-
              tory with this option).


       -n, --no-indexing
              Prevent  .B  trackerd  from  indexing and watching. Searching is
              still possible.


       -v, --verbosity=value
              Makes trackerd log/print more information. Value can be one of 0
              -  show  only  errors,  1  -  show only minimal output, 2 - show
              detailed output and 3 - show debug output (don't do this, unless
              you know what you are doing).


       -t, --throttle=value
              Value to throttle indexing. Value must be in range 0-20 (default
              0) with lower values increasing indexing speed.


       -R, --reindex
              This forces trackerd to re-index all watched files and  directo-
              ries.   Since every watched directory and any previously indexed
              file has to be read and processed again, this  may  degrade  the
              whole system performance, see also --throttle.

FILES

       $HOME/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg

       sion.
