NAME
       htmerge - create document index and word database for the ht://Dig
       search engine

SYNOPSIS
       htmerge [options]

DESCRIPTION
       Htmerge is used to create a document index and word database from the
       files that were created by htdig. These databases are then used by
       htsearch to perform the actual searched.

OPTIONS
       -a     Use alternate work files. Tells htdig to append .work to
              database files, causing a second copy of the database to be
              built. This allows the original files to be used by htsearch
              during the indexing run.

       -c configfile
              Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

       -d     Prevent the document index from being created.

       -s     Print statistics about the document and word databases after
              htmerge has finished.

       -v     Run in verbose mode. This will provide some hints as to the
              progress of the merge. This can be useful when running htmerge
              interactively since some parts (especially the word database
              creation) can take a very long time.

       -w     Prevent the word database from being created.

ENVIRONMENT
       TMPDIR In addition to the command line options, the environment
              variable TMPDIR will be used to designate the directory where
              intermediate files are stored during the sorting process.

FILES
       /usr/local/etc/htdig/htdig.conf
              The default configuration file.
