NAME
       xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several

SYNOPSIS
       xapian-compact [OPTIONS] SOURCE_DATABASE... DESTINATION_DATABASE

DESCRIPTION
       xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several

OPTIONS
       -b, --blocksize
	      Set the blocksize in bytes (e.g. 4096) or K (e.g. 4K) (must be between 2K and 64K and a power of 2, default 8K)

       -n, --no-full
	      Disable full compaction

       -F, --fuller
	      Enable fuller compaction (not recommended if you plan to update the compacted database)

       -m, --multipass
	      If merging more than 3 databases, merge the postlists in multiple passes (which is generally faster but requires more disk space for
	      temporary files)

       --no-renumber Preserve the numbering of document ids (useful if you have
	      external references to them, or have set them to match unique ids from an external source).  Currently this option is only supported
	      when merging databases if they have disjoint ranges of used document ids

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit
