htdig(1)htdig(1)NAMEhtpurge - remove unused odocuments from the database (general mainte‐
nance script)
SYNOPSIShtpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v]
DESCRIPTION
Htpurge functions to remove specified URLs from the databases as well
as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs, obsolete documents, etc. It is recom‐
mended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents of
this sort.
OPTIONS
- Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with
-u). Format of input file is one URL per line. -a Use alternate
work files. Tells htpurge to append .work to database files,
causing a second copy of the database to be built. This allows
the original files to be used by htsearch during the run.
-c configfile
Use the specified configfile instead of the default.
-u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be speci‐
fied multiple times if more than one URL are to be removed.
Should nor be used together with -.
-v Verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the program.
Using more than 2 is probably only useful for debugging pur‐
poses. The default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice
progress report while digging.
FILES
/etc/htdig/htdig.conf
The default configuration file.
