NAME
gindxbib - make inverted index for bibliographic databases
SYNOPSIS
gindxbib [ -vw ] [ -cfile ] [ -ddir ] [ -ffile ] [ -hn ]
[ -istring ] [ -kn ] [ -ln ] [ -nn ] [ -ofile ]
[ -tn ] [ filename... ]
DESCRIPTION
gindxbib makes an inverted index for the bibliographic
databases in filename... for use with grefer(1),
glookbib(1), and lkbib(1). The index will be named
filename.i; the index is written to a temporary file which
is then renamed to this. If no filenames are given on the
command line because the -f option has been used, and no -o
option is given, the index will be named Ind.i.
Bibliographic databases are divided into records by blank
lines. Within a record, each fields starts with a %
character at the beginning of a line. Fields have a one
letter name which follows the % character.
The values set by the -c, -n, -l and -t options are stored
in the index; when the index is searched, keys will be
discarded and truncated in a manner appropriate to these
options; the original keys will be used for verifying that
any record found using the index actually contains the keys.
This means that a user of an index need not know whether
these options were used in the creation of the index,
provided that not all the keys to be searched for would have
been discarded during indexing and that the user supplies at
least the part of each key that would have remained after
being truncated during indexing. The value set by the -i
option is also stored in the index and will be used in
verifying records found using the index.
OPTIONS
-v Print the version number.
-w Index whole files. Each file is a separate record.
-cfile
Read the list of common words from file instead of
/usr/products/src2/gcc/AIX.d/lib/groff/eign.
-ddir
Use dir as the pathname of the current working
directory to store in the index, instead of the path
printed by pwd(1). Usually dir will be a symbolic link
that points to the directory printed by pwd(1).
-ffile
Read the files to be indexed from file. If file is -,
files will be read from the standard input. The -f
option can be given at most once.
-istring
Don't index the contents of fields whose names are in
string. Initially string is XYZ.
-hn Use the first prime greater than or equal to n for the
size of the hash table. Larger values of n will
usually make searching faster, but will make the index
larger and gindxbib use more memory. Initially n is
997.
-kn Use at most n keys per input record. Initially n is
100.
-ln Discard keys that are shorter than n. Initially n is
3.
-nn Discard the n most common words. Initially n is 100.
-obasename
The index should be named basename.i.
-tn Truncate keys to n. Initially n is 6.
FILES
filename.i Index.
Ind.i Default index name.
/usr/products/src2/gcc/AIX.d/lib/groff/eign
List of common words.
indxbibXXXXXX Temporary file.
