NAMAZU(1)

💖 NAMAZU(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is namazu from the Namazu Project — literally a search program and she SERVES. let me walk you through it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

namazu — a search program of Namazu. that's it, that's the girl 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

namazu [options] <query> [index]...

so you give her a query, you give her one or more index things, you sprinkle some options on top, and she goes off. iconic behavior tbh ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

namazu 2.0.21</purlle> — a search program of Namazu. she's been doing this since forever and she's lowkey perfect at it 🫶

here's the whole menu of options, no skips, no cuts, we're eating the whole plate 🍓

• -n, --max=NUM — sets the number of documents shown to NUM. like, how many results do you want on your plate, bestie.
• -w, --whence=NUM — sets the first number of documents shown to NUM. this is the "start here" button, not the "how many" button, don't get it twisted 🙈
• -l, --list — prints the results by listing the format. list-mode, she's giving organized 💅
• -s, --short — prints the results in a short format. no yapping, just the essentials.
• --result=EXT — sets NMZ.result.EXT for printing the results. you're picking which result template she wears today ✨
• --late — sorts the documents in late order. late > early, that's just the vibe 🌙
• --early — sorts the documents in early order. early bird energy 🌅
• --sort=METHOD — sets a sort METHOD. your choices are score, date, and field:name. pick your fighter 👑
• --ascending — sorts in ascending order. (default is descending, so heads up that this flips the whole thing 🔄)
• -a, --all — prints all results. ALL of them. every single one. no cap 💀
• -c, --count — prints only the number of hits. she's not showing you the receipts, just the total 🧾
• -h, --html — prints in HTML format. web girl summer 🌈
• -r, --no-references — does not display the reference hit counts. no cross-referencing, we're keeping it simple.
• -H, --page — prints the links of further results. (and the manpage itself says this is nearly meaningless — so yeah, she's a little useless, but she's still here 💀)
• -F, --form — forces printing of the <form> ... </form> region. form gets printed whether she feels like it or not.
• -R, --no-replace — does not replace the URI string. leave that URI exactly as you found it 🙅‍♀️
• -U, --no-decode-uri — does not decode the URI when printing in a plain format. no decoding, no touching, hands off ✋
• -o, --output=FILE — sets the output file name to FILE. send it somewhere specific, bestie 📁
• -f, --config=FILE — sets the config file name to FILE. her outfit for the day, but it's a config 🎀
• -C, --show-config — prints the current configuration. show me the fit, show me the settings 💖
• -q, --quiet — does not display extra messages except search results. shhh, only the results, nothing else 🤫
• -d, --debug — be in debug mode. chaotic investigative era 🔍
• -v, --version — shows the namazu version and exits. she tells you who she is and then she leaves 💅
• --help — shows this help and exits. your girl is helpful like that 🫶
• --norc — does not read the personal initialization files. skipping the personal stuff, going straight to business.
• -- — terminates the option list. everything after this is not an option, periodt ✋
