💖 tracker3-status — bestie's guide to peeking at ur index ✨

okay so this is from the Tracker manual, and it's genuinely one of my fave lil commands because it just… tells u what's going on. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

tracker3-status — gives u the status and the statistics on all the data that's been indexed 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

tracker3 status
tracker3 status [[expression1]...]
tracker3 status --stat [-a] [[expression1]...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically, this shows u the status of ur current index and ur data set. and bestie — it also shows u a lil summary of all the recorded failures that happened while indexing file metadata. yeah. the receipts. 😭

If u hand it a search expression, it'll list out the full details of the recorded failures that match that filename. super useful when ur like "wait what broke".

And then — the moment u've been waiting for — with the --stat option, it shows u statistics about the RDF classes and how many of each one exists for the data set that's been indexed. like, literally: "10 Folders". it's giving census but make it semantic ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --stat[=expression] — By default it only shows u the common and useful classes, yk, like "nfo:Document" or "nfo:Folder". but if u want the FULL set of statistics, go look at the --all option 👀

If u give it one or more expression arguments, then the statistics that come back get filtered to only show info for those RDF types that match expression — and yes it's case folded and it matches accented variants too, so ur not gonna get got by a stray é 🫶 The RDF classes are detailed by the Nepomuk ontology specification. And if u want a list of possible classes matching expression? see tracker3 sparql -c.

  • -a, --all — Displays statistics about ALL RDF classes that exist in the database. without this option, only the common RDF classes get shown, for example "nfo:Document" and "nfo:FileDataObject".
lowkey important: this option is implied if search terms are provided to filter ALL possible statistics. so it just turns itself on, bestie 💅
