okay so bestie 💖 this is SCRIPTINDEX(1) and it's literally the manual page for scriptindex — the tool that indexes arbitrary data as described by an index script. buckle up, it's giving tiny-but-mighty ✨

✨ NAME ✨

scriptindex - index arbitrary data as described by an index script.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

scriptindex [OPTIONS] DATABASE INDEXER_SCRIPT [INPUT_FILE]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so scriptindex creates or updates a Xapian database with the data from the input files listed on the command line. If no files are specified, data is read from stdin — iconic low-effort behavior, honestly.

See https://xapian.org/docs/omega/scriptindex.html for documentation of the format for INDEXER_SCRIPT. that's the whole format lore, bestie 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -v, --verbose — display additional messages to aid debugging. yes bestie, turn the volume up on the debugging tea 🍵
  • --overwrite — create the database anew (the default is to update if the database already exists). so this one is the "burn it down and start fresh" button, no cap.
  • -s, --stemmer=LANG — set the stemming language (default: english). Possible values: arabic armenian basque catalan danish dutch dutch_porter earlyenglish english esperanto estonian finnish french german greek hindi hungarian indonesian irish italian lithuanian lovins nepali norwegian polish porter portuguese romanian russian serbian spanish swedish tamil turkish yiddish (pass 'none' to disable stemming). that's the whole stemmer menu, bestie — literally all of them 💅
  • -h, --help — display this help and exit. tiny helpful icon behavior 🎀
  • -V, --version — output version information and exit. just the version, just the vibes ⭐
