NAME
gen-index - generate new GNATS database index SYNOPSIS
gen-index [ -n | --numeric ] [ -h | --help ] [ -o outfile | --outfile=outfile ] [ -i | --import ] [ -e | --export ] [ -d databasename | --database=databasename ] [ -V | --version ] DESCRIPTION
Builds an index for the specified GNATS database. The index is printed to standard output by default. OPTIONS
-n, --numeric Sorts index entries numerically rather than by their order in the categories list. -d databasename, --database=databasename Specifies the database to be indexed. If no database is specified, the database named default is assumed. This option overrides the database specified in the GNATSDB environment variable. -o outfile, --outfile=outfile Prints the index to outfile rather than to the standard output. -i, --import Import the existing index file instead of re-indexing the database. -e, --export Force plaintext output -h, --help Prints usage for gen-index. -V, --version Prints the version number of gen-index. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The GNATSDB environment variable is used to determine which database to use. For a local database, it contains the name of the database to access. For network access via gnatsd, it contains a colon-separated list of strings that describe the remote database, in the form server:port:databasename:username:password Any of the fields may be omitted, but at least one colon must appear; otherwise, the value is assumed to be the name of a local database. If GNATSDB is not set, it is assumed that the database is local and that its name is default. SEE ALSO
