description
indxbib
makes an inverted index for the bibliographic databases in
filename... for use with refer(1),
lookbib(1), and lkbib(1). The index will be
named filename.i; 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
-f option has been used, and no -o
option is given, the index will be named Ind.i.
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 % character.
The values set
by the -c, -n, -l and
-t 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 contains 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 during 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 -i option is also stored
in the index and will be used in verifying records found
using the index.
options
It is possible
to have whitespace between a command line option and its
parameter.
-v
Print the version number.
-w
Index whole files. Each file is a separate record.
-cfile
Read the list of common words from file instead
of /usr/share/groff/1.22.1/eign.
-ddir
Use dir as the pathname of the current working
directory to store in the index, instead of the path printed
by pwd(1). Usually dir will be a symbolic link
that points to the directory printed by pwd(1).
-ffile
Read the files to be indexed from file. If
file is -, files will be read from the
standard input. The -f option can be given at
most once.
-istring
Don’t index the contents
of fields whose names are in string. Initially
string is XYZ.
-hn
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 indxbib use more memory. Initially
n is 997.
-kn
Use at most n keys per input record. Initially
n is 100.
-ln
Discard keys that are shorter than n. Initially
n is 3.
-nn
Discard the n most common words. Initially
n is 100.
-obasename
The index should be named
basename.i.
-tn
Truncate keys to n. Initially n is 6.
files
filename.i
Index.
Ind.i
Default index name.
/usr/share/groff/1.22.1/eign
List of common words.
indxbibXXXXXX
Temporary file.
