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
