NAME
       ifindex - Create nodelist index

SYNOPSIS
       ifindex [-h] [-x verbosity] [-I file]

DESCRIPTION
       Ifindex creates a nodelist index which is used by ifcico for faster nodelist lookups.

       Depending  on  the OPTIONS set when compiling the program, one of 3 different nodelist indices will be generated: a db- a (g)dbm- or a dbz-
       version. The dbz- type nodelist-index has some advantages (smaller indices and faster index generation) over the other 2 types but is  cur-
       rently only in PRE-ALPHA state - you should also read the README before using this type of nodelist-index.

OPTIONS
       -h     Display a short help message.

       -x Verbosity
	      Set the debug verbosity.	Verbosity may be a number from 0 to 32 to set 'on' bits from 1 to number, or a string of letters where 'a'
	      = bit 1, 'b' = bit 2, etc. up to bit 26.

       -I File
	      Use the alternate configuration file File.

RETURN CODES
       0    Successfull
       64   command line usage error
       65   error reading config file

DEBUG VERBOSITY
       d   lock files
       f   aka matching
       g   outbound directories
       h   call
       j   session handshake
       k   file transfer
       l   filelist
       m   nodelist flags
       r   modem
