NAME

xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several

SYNOPSIS

xapian-compact [OPTIONS] SOURCE_DATABASE... DESTINATION_DATABASE

DESCRIPTION

xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several

OPTIONS

-b, --blocksize=B
Set the blocksize in bytes (e.g. 4096) or K (e.g. 4K) (must be
between 2K and 64K and a power of 2, default 8K)

-n, --no-full
Disable full compaction

-F, --fuller
Enable fuller compaction (not recommended if you plan to
update the compacted database)

-m, --multipass
If merging more than 3 databases, merge the postlists in
multiple passes (which is generally faster but requires more
disk space for temporary files)

--no-renumber
Preserve the numbering of document ids (useful if you have
external references to them, or have set them to match unique
ids from an external source). Currently this option is only
supported when merging databases if they have disjoint ranges
of used document ids

-s, --single-file
Produce a single file database (not supported for chert)

--help display this help and exit

--version
output version information and exit
