NAME

       doodled - a daemon to keep your doodle database up-to-date

SYNOPSIS

       doodled [OPTIONS] [FILENAMES]*

DESCRIPTION

       doodled  monitors  your  filesystem  for changes and updates the doodle
       database to keep it always up-to-date with the latest data.  doodled is
       experimental  at  this  point.   It  uses libfam and is thus limited to
       monitoring less than 1024 directories for changes.

OPTIONS

       -B LANG, --binary=LANG
              Use the generic plaintext extractor for the  language  with  the
              2-letter  language  code  LANG.   See  extract(1)  for a list of
              supported  languages.   Use  this  option  to  enable   fulltext
              indexing (for a particular language).

       -d FILENAME, --database=FILENAME
              use FILENAME for the location of the database (use when building
              or searching).  This option is particularly useful  when  doodle
              is  used to search different types of files (or is operated with
              different extractor options).  Using this option doodle  can  be
              used  to  build  specialized indices (i.e. one per file system),
              which can in turn improve search performance.   When  searching,
              you  can  pass a colon-separated list of database file names, in
              that case all databases are searched.  Note that the  disk-space
              consumption  of  a single database is typically slightly smaller
              than  if  the   database   is   split   into   multiple   files.
              Nevertheless,  the  space-savings  are likely to be small (a few
              percent).   You  can  also   use    the   environment   variable
              DOODLE_PATH  to  set  the list of database files to search.  The
              option overrides the environment variable if both are used.   If
              the   option   is   not   given  and  DOODLE_PATH  is  not  set,
              "/var/lib/doodle" is used.

       -D, --debug
              do not detach from the terminal (do not daemonize).   Also  will
              print log messages to stderr if no logfile is specified.

       -f, --filenames
              include filenames (full path) in the set of keywords

       -h, --help
              print help page

       -H ALGORITHM, --hash=ALGORITHM
              Use  the  ALGORITHM  to  compute  a  hash of each file (possible
              algorithms are md5, rmd160 and sha1).

       -l LIBRARIES, --library=LIBRARIES
              specify which libextractor plugins  to  use  (for  building  the
              index with -b or for printing information about files with -e)

       -L FILENAME, --log=FILENAME
              log messages to the given logfile.

       -m LIMIT, --memory=LIMIT
              use  at most LIMIT MB of memory for the nodes of the suffix-tree
              (after that, serialize to disk).  Note that a smaller value will
              reduce memory consumption but increase the size of the temporary
              file (and slow down indexing).  The default is 8 MB.

       -n, --nodefault
              do not load the  default  set  of  plugins  (only  load  plugins
              specified with -l)

       -P PATH, --prunepaths=PATH
              Directories  to  not  put in the database, which would otherwise
              be. The environment variable PRUNEPATHS also  sets  this  value.
              Default  is  "/tmp  /usr/tmp  /var/tmp  /dev  /proc /sys".  This
              option can also be used when searching,  in  which  case  search
              results in the specified directories will be ignored.

       -v, --version
              print the version number

       -V, --verbose
              be verbose

ENVIRONMENT

       DOODLE_PATH
              Colon-separated  list  of  databases  to search.  Note that when
              building the database this path must  either  only  contain  one
              filename  or  the option -b must be used to specify the database
              file.  Default is "/var/lib/doodle".

       PRUNEPATHS
              Space-separated list of paths to  exclude.   Can  be  overridden
              with the -P option.
