💖 JHINDEXER 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the JavaHelp command line utility that makes your docs actually searchable. this is jhindexer(1) from the Java Tools manual and she is iconic, she is lowkey the backbone of full-text search, and yes she's about to become your new hyperfixation. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

jhindexer [ options ] [ file | folder ]

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • options — the command-line options, aka the little flags that change everything.
  • file — a JavaHelp system content file. and here's the plot twist: if the argument is a folder, the folder gets searched recursively for JavaHelp system content files. it's giving main character energy, it's going deep. 🔥

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does jhindexer actually do? she creates a full-text search database that the JavaHelp system full-text search engine uses to locate matches. no database, no matches, no search. periodt.

and if you wanna make sure the database she made is actually valid? that's what the jhsearch command is for. use it to verify. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -c file — a configuration file name. give her the config, she'll read it. 💜
  • -db dir — the name of the database output folder. by default the output folder is named JavaHelpSearch and it gets created in the current folder. (yes, default behaviour, no cap. 🍓)
  • -locale lang_country_variant — the name of the locale, as described in java.util.Locale. for example: en_US (English, United States) or en_US_WIN (English, United States, Windows variant). slay, localized. 🌈
  • -logfile file — captures jhindexer messages in a specified file. use this option to preserve jhindexer output on Win32 machines where the console window is dismissed after execution terminates. (the console just ✨leaves✨ and takes your output with it. not on her watch. 💀)
  • -nostop words — causes stop words to be indexed in the full-text search database. 🧚
  • -verbose — displays verbose messages while processing. she'll tell you everything, bestie, she's a talker. 👑

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

  • jhsearch (1)
okay so quick reminder, bestie: read the options carefully, they're all doing something real and useful. no fake flags in this house. 💖

and that's a wrap on the Java Tools manual page for jhindexer(1), dated June 28, 2007. mwah, go index something gorgeous. 💅✨🎀
