INDXBIB(1) INDXBIB(1)

NAME

indxbib - make inverted index for bibliographic databases

SYNOPSIS

iinnddxxbbiibb [ -vvww ] [ -ccfile ] [ -dddir ] [ -fffile ] [ -hhn ] [ -iistring ]

[ -kkn ] [ -lln ] [ -nnn ] [ -oofile ] [ -ttn ] [ filename... ]

It is possible to have whitespace between a command line option and its parameter.

DESCRIPTION

iinnddxxbbiibb makes an inverted index for the bibliographic databases in filename... for use with rreeffeerr(1), llooookkbbiibb(1), and llkkbbiibb(1). The index will be named filename..ii; the index is written to a temporary file which is then renamed to this. If no filenames are given on the

command line because the -ff option has been used, and no -oo option is

given, the index will be named IInndd..ii. Bibliographic databases are divided into records by blank lines.

Within a record, each fields starts with a %% character at the beginning

of a line. Fields have a one letter name which follows the %% charac-

ter.

The values set by the -cc, -nn, -ll and -tt options are stored in the

index; when the index is searched, keys will be discarded and truncated in a manner appropriate to these options; the original keys will be

used for verifying that any record found using the index actually con-

tains the keys. This means that a user of an index need not know whether these options were used in the creation of the index, provided

that not all the keys to be searched for would have been discarded dur-

ing indexing and that the user supplies at least the part of each key that would have remained after being truncated during indexing. The

value set by the -ii option is also stored in the index and will be used

in verifying records found using the index. OOPPTTIIOONNSS

-vv Print the version number.

-ww Index whole files. Each file is a separate record.

-ccfile Read the list of common words from file instead of

//uussrr//sshhaarree//ggrrooffff//11..1199..11//eeiiggnn.

-dddir Use dir as the pathname of the current working directory to

store in the index, instead of the path printed by ppwwdd(1). Usu-

ally dir will be a symbolic link that points to the directory printed by ppwwdd(1).

-fffile Read the files to be indexed from file. If file is -, files

will be read from the standard input. The -ff option can be

given at most once.

-iistring

Don't index the contents of fields whose names are in string. Initially string is XXYYZZ.

-hhn Use the first prime greater than or equal to n for the size of

the hash table. Larger values of n will usually make searching

faster, but will make the index larger and iinnddxxbbiibb use more mem-

ory. Initially n is 997.

-kkn Use at most n keys per input record. Initially n is 100.

-lln Discard keys that are shorter than n. Initially n is 3.

-nnn Discard the n most common words. Initially n is 100.

-oobasename

The index should be named basename..ii.

-ttn Truncate keys to n. Initially n is 6.

FILES filename..ii Index. IInndd..ii Default index name. //uussrr//sshhaarree//ggrrooffff//11..1199..11//eeiiggnn List of common words. iinnddxxbbiibbXXXXXX Temporary file.
