The following command builds the word list in the collection residing in the path
directory.
mkvdk -words -collection path
General processing options
mkvdk
provides a variety of general processing options, described in the following
table:
Option Description
-collection path This option specifies the path of the collection to create or open. This is
required to execute
mkvdk .
-nolock This option turns off file locking. Locking is on by default.
-synch This option performs work immediately. If this option is not used, indexing
work is done in the background, as time permits.
-about This option shows information about the collection, such as its description and
the date when it was last modified.
-datapath path This option specifies the datapath to use to find documents being added to the
specified collection. All relative document paths will be relative to this setting.
If you do not set this option,
mkvdk
looks for documents next to the collection
directory.
-topicset path This option creates a topic index for the collection based on the specified topic
set and stores it in the collection directory. This facilitates quick and efficient
searches over the collection data when using topics.
-mode mode This option sets the indexing mode. Values are case insensitive. Valid settings
are:
•
Generic
•
FastSearch
•
NewsfeedIdx
•
NewsfeedOpt
•
BulkLoad
•
ReadOnly
•
Any custom mode defined in the
style.plc
file. The default is Generic
mode.
-common This option specifies the path of the Verity common directory. If you do not use
this option, the Verity engine looks for the common directory in the directory
containing the
mkvdk
executable, and then along the executable search path.
The executable search path is determined by your operating system
environment settings. It is the path used by the OS to find the programs you
run.
-help This option displays
mkvdk
syntax options.
-debug This option runs
mkvdk
in debugging mode.
