💅 LEI-REINDEX(1) — the public-inbox user manual, bestie edition

okay so you're looking at lei-reindex, part of the public-inbox user manual situation ✨

🌸 NAME

lei-reindex — reindex messages that are already chillin' in lei/store

✨ SYNOPSIS

lei reindex [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so picture this: you've got messages that were previously indexed by lei-import(1) or lei-index(1), and now you want them re-indexed. Forcefully. That's literally this. 💅

It's the move for in-place upgrades and bugfixes, and the cute part is it works while other processes are querying the store — no need to shut everything down, she's flexible like that 🫶

⚠️ but bestie, be warned: this roughly doubles the size of the already-large Xapian database. like, that database was already thicc and now it's thicc-er. plan accordingly 💀

and no, it does not re-index messages in externals — for that you need the --reindex switch of public-inbox-index(1) or public-inbox-extindex(1). different tool, different vibe, iykyk 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS

  • -q, --quiet — suppress feedback messages. she goes silent mode, no commentary, just vibes ✨
