NAME
tracker-extract - Extract metadata from a file. SYNOPSYS
tracker-extract [OPTION...] FILE... DESCRIPTION
tracker-extract reads the file and mimetype provided in stdin and extract the metadata from this file; then it displays the metadata on the standard output. NOTE: If a FILE is not provided then tracker-extract will run for 30 seconds waiting for DBus calls before quitting. OPTIONS
-?, --help Show summary of options. -v, --verbosity=N Set verbosity to N. This overrides the config value. Values include 0=errors, 1=minimal, 2=detailed and 3=debug. -f, --file=FILE The FILE to extract metadata from. The FILE argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also does not have to be an absolute path. -m, --mime=MIME The MIME type to use for the file. If one is not provided, it will be guessed automatically. -d, --disable-shutdown Disable shutting down after 30 seconds of inactivity. -i, --force-internal-extractors Use this option to force internal extractors over 3rd parties like libstreamanalyzer. -m, --force-module=MODULE Force a particular module to be used. This is here as a convenience for developers wanting to test their MODULE file. Only the MOD- ULE name has to be specified, not the full path. Typically, a MODULE is installed to /usr/lib/tracker-0.7/extract-modules/. This option can be used with or without the .so part of the name too, for example, you can use --force-module=foo Modules are shared objects which are dynamically loaded at run time. These files must have the .so suffix to be loaded and must con- tain the correct symbols to be authenticated by tracker-extract. For more information see the libtracker-extract reference documen- tation. -V, --version Show binary version. EXAMPLES
Using command line to extract metadata from a file: $ tracker-extract -v 3 -f /path/to/some/file.mp3 Using a specific module to extract metadata from a file: $ tracker-extract -v 3 -f /path/to/some/file.mp3 -m mymodule ENVIRONMENT
TRACKER_EXTRACTORS_DIR This is the directory which tracker uses to load the shared libraries from (used for extracting metadata for specific file types). These are needed on each invocation of tracker-store. If unset it will default to the correct place. This is used mainly for testing purposes. The default location is /usr/lib/tracker-0.10/extract-modules/. TRACKER_EXTRACTOR_RULES_DIR This is the directory which tracker uses to load the rules files from. The rules files describe extractor modules and their sup- ported MIME types. The default location is /usr/share/tracker/extract-rules/. TRACKER_USE_CONFIG_FILES Don't use GSettings, instead use a config file similar to how settings were saved in 0.10.x. That is, a file which is much like an .ini file. These are saved to $HOME/.config/tracker/ SEE ALSO

NAME
tracker-status - Report the state of all data miners SYNOPSIS
tracker-status [OPTION...] DESCRIPTION
tracker-status shows the status of all miners installed. It also allows pausing and resuming of miners. For tracker-store state, you need to use tracker-control OPTIONS
-?, --help Show summary of options. -f, --follow Follow status changes as they happen. This requires Ctrl+C to stop and return to the command line. Each new status is put on a new line. To get more information, you can use --detailed with this. -d, --detailed For the most part, this purely provides a timestamp with each status update to follow WHEN changes happened. -s, --list-common-statuses This will list statuses most commonly produced by miners and the store. These statuses are not translated when sent over D-Bus and should be translated by each application. These are not considered static and are subject to change at any point. Additionally, these statuses are not the only ones which may be reported by a miner. There may be other states pertaining to the specific roles of the miner in question. -l, --list-miners-running This will list all miners which have responded to a D-Bus call. Sometimes it is helpfult to use this command with --list-miners- available. -a, --list-miners-available This will list all miners which are available even if they are not running at the moment. -i, --pause-details For listing all miners which are paused and the reasons for being paused, you can use this. It will also display the application that requested the pause too. -m, --miner=MINER This argument is used with --pause and --resume to say which miner you want to pause or resume. You can use the full D-Bus name, e.g. org.freedesktop.Tracker1.Miner.Files OR you can use the suffix, e.g. Files -p, --pause=REASON The REASON here is useful to know WHY the miner should be paused. A miner can be paused many times by multiple applications. Only when all pauses have been resumed will it continue. If successful, a cookie will be given to uniquely identify the request. This cookie is used to resume the pause at a later stage. -r, --resume=COOKIE The COOKIE is given by a successful --pause command. It is a number which identifies each pause request. When all pauses have been resumed, the miner will resume working. -V, --version Print version. SEE ALSO
