✨ NAME ✨

mknmz — an indexer of Namazu. that's it, that's the job, and it ate 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mknmz [options] <target>...

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

mknmz 2.0.21, an indexer of Namazu. that's the version we're living in, periodt.

---

🎀 Target files: (what even gets indexed)

• -a, --all — target all files. every single one. no cap.
• -t, --media-type=MTYPE — sets the media type for every target file to MTYPE. one type to rule them all 👑
• -h, --mailnews — literally the same as --media-type='message/rfc822'. same vibe, shorter to type.
• --mhonarc — literally the same as --media-type='text/html; x-type=mhonarc'. again: shortcut szn.
• -F, --target-list=FILE — loads FILE, which has a whole list of target files in it. so you don't have to type them all out, thank god 😭
• --allow=PATTERN — sets PATTERN for the file names that should be allowed in.
• --deny=PATTERN — sets PATTERN for the file names that should be denied. bye 👋
• --exclude=PATTERN — sets PATTERN for the pathnames that should be excluded entirely.
• -e, --robots — excludes HTML files that contain <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX">. the robots said no, so we respect the robots 🫶
• -M, --meta — handles HTML meta tags so you can do field-specified search. fancy.
• -r, --replace=CODE — sets CODE for replacing the URI.
• --html-split — splits an HTML file at its <a name="..."> anchors. chop chop ✂️
• --mtime=NUM — limits by mtime, exactly like find(1)'s -mtime option. so like -50 means the recent 50 days, and +50 means older than 50 days. bestie this one is so useful.

---

🧚 Morphological Analysis (the japanese-language-girlie section)

• -b, --use-mecab — uses MeCab for analyzing Japanese.
• -c, --use-chasen — uses ChaSen for analyzing Japanese.
• -k, --use-kakasi — uses KAKASI for analyzing Japanese.
• -m, --use-chasen-noun — uses ChaSen but only extracts the nouns. nouns only, we're being picky today 💅
• -L, --indexing-lang=LANG — indexes with language specific processing for LANG.

---

🌈 Text Operations (glow-ups for your words)

• -E, --no-edge-symbol — removes symbols sitting on the edge of a word.
• -G, --no-okurigana — removes Okurigana inside a word.
• -H, --no-hiragana — ignores words that consist of Hiragana only. not them.
• -K, --no-symbol — removes symbols. all of them. gone.
• --decode-base64 — decodes base64 bodies inside multipart entities. uncoded, as a treat 🎀

---

👑 Summarization

• -U, --no-encode-uri — does not encode the URI. leave it alone, it's fine as is.
• -x, --no-heading-summary — does not make a summary out of the HTML's headings. no heading-based summary for you.

---

💜 Index Construction (building the thing)

• --update=INDEX — sets INDEX for updating. it's giving incremental.
• -z, --check-filesize — detects when a file's size changed.
• -Y, --no-delete — does not detect removed documents. they're gone but we're pretending 🤫
• -Z, --no-update — does not detect updated or deleted documents. full denial mode, iconic.

---

🔥 Miscellaneous (the everything-else drawer)

• -s, --checkpoint — turns on the checkpoint mechanism.
• -C, --show-config — shows the current configuration. vibe check on your setup ✨
• -f, --config=FILE — uses FILE as the config file.
• -I, --include=FILE — includes your customization FILE.
• -O, --output-dir=DIR — sets DIR as where the index gets output.
• -T, --template-dir=DIR — sets DIR as the one holding NMZ.{head,foot,body}.*.
• -q, --quiet — suppresses the status messages while it runs. shhh 🤫
• -v, --version — shows the version of namazu and exits.
• -V, --verbose — be verbose. tell me everything, i want the tea 🍵
• -d, --debug — be in debug mode.
• --help — shows this help and exits.
• --norc — does not read the personal initialization files. no rc, no drama.
• -- — terminates the option list. everything after this is not an option, bestie, i promise.
