NAME
       tracker-index  -  List,  pause, resume and command data miners indexing
       content


SYNOPSIS
       tracker index reindex-mime-type  [[-m [mime2]] ...]
       tracker index file  [[file2] ...]
       tracker index import  [[file2] ...]
       tracker index backup  | restore 


DESCRIPTION
       This command perform actions on the current index. The "index" holds  a
       snapshot of the working tree in a database.

       The  index  command  allows  some  level  of  control  on existing data
       indexed, such as re-indexing content from a specific demographic - e.g.
       all JPEG images, or simply reindexing an existing or non-existent file.

       It  may  be  a good idea to backup your index before an upgrade in case
       there is data loss (which should never happen).  In  those  cases,  the
       backup command is made available and of course the restore command will
       import an older data set (or index) into an empty index.

       Finally, there is an import feature which makes testing or  applying  a
       "base" data set for use much easier.


OPTIONS
       -m, reindex-mime-type= [[-m [mime2]] ...]
              Re-index  files which match the mime type supplied. This is usu‐
              ally used when installing  new  extractors  which  support  mime
              types  previously  unsupported.  This forces Tracker to re-index
              those files. You can use reindex-mime-type more than once  per
              mime type.

       -f, index= [[file2] ...]
              (Re)index a file matching the file name(s) supplied.

       -b, backup=
              Begins  backing up the Tracker databases and save it to the file
              given.

       -o, restore=
              Begins restoring a previous backup from the file which points to
              the location of the backup generated by backup.

       i, import= [[file2] ...]
              Allows  data to be imported into the index / database by provid‐
              ing files with Turtle content.

              Multiple file arguments can be provided to import data from mul‐
              tiple files.

              The  file  argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also
              does not have to be an absolute path.
