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 interac-
	      tively 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
       /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
	      The default configuration file.
