NAME
     trackerd - indexer daemon for tracker search tool


SYNOPSIS
     trackerd [OPTIONS]


DESCRIPTION
     Trackerd provides both a powerful indexer and an  extensible
     metadata  database. It indexes files including the text con-
     tents and any available metadata to provide fast search ser-
     vices.

     By default, trackerd will index all files in a  user's  home
     directory  (with the exception of hidden files). This can be
     overridden by specifying  one  or  more  directories  to  be
     indexed     instead     in     the     configuration    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, --monitors-exclude-dir=/PATH/DIR
          Specifies a directory  to  be  excluded  from  indexing
          (including  all  subdirectories).  Can  be repeated (-e
           -e ) to exclude more than one directory.


     -i, --monitors-include-dir=/PATH/DIR
          Specifies a directory to be included for indexing.  All
          non-hidden  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  directory  with  this
          option).


     -c, --crawler-include-dirs=/PATH/DIR
          Specify directories to crawl. Crawling  of  directories
          means  index  every  indexable content but do not watch
          for directory or file changes.


     -n, --disable-indexing
          Prevent trackerd from indexing and watching.  Searching
          is still possible.

User Commands                                         trackerd(1)



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


     -m, --low-memory
          Minimise memory usage. Note that  this  may  slow  down
          indexing.


     -s, --initial-sleep=value
          Set the initial sleep time in seconds. This is the time
          trackerd waits at startup before indexing.


     -l, --language=value
          Language to use for stemmer and stop  words  list  (ISO
          639-1 2 characters code).


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


     -f, --fatal-errors
          Makes any errors fatal, i.e. forces abortion of  track-
          erd. This switch is only useful for debugging.


FILES
     $HOME/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg
          Trackerd user configuration  file.  See  tracker.cfg(5)
          and tracker-preferences(1) for further details.


NOTES
     Trackerd needs a dbus-daemon(1) to be  running  within  your
     current session.
