< p > < a href = "attributes.html" > Attributes< / a > and < a href = "queries.html" > Queries< / a > are key features of Haiku. While attributes are useful on their own, to display additional information on a file, for a query on them, they need to be indexed. It puts them into a lookup table, which in turn makes queries lightning fast.< br / >
The index is part of the filesystem and is kept for every volume/partition separately.< / p >

< li > < b > mkindex< / b > - Adds an attribute to the index of a volume/partition. < / li >
< / ul >
2008-10-03 12:03:14 +04:00
< pre > Usage: mkindex [options] < attribute>
Creates a new index for the specified attribute.
-d, --volume=PATH a path on the volume to which the index will be added,
defaults to current volume.
2010-01-14 10:00:47 +03:00
-t, --type=TYPE the type of the attribute being indexed. One of "int",
"llong", "string", "float", or "double".
Defaults to "string".
2008-10-03 12:03:14 +04:00
--copy-from path to volume to copy the indexes from.
-v, --verbose print information about the index being created
2010-01-14 10:00:47 +03:00

< p > Only < b > new< / b > files with that attribute come automatically into the index!< br / >
2010-01-14 10:00:47 +03:00
Existing files have to be added manually by copying them and deleting the originals after that. Alternatively you can use the command < span class = "cli" > reindex< / span > .
< / p >
< ul >
< li > < b > reindex< / b > - Puts the attributes of existing files into the newly created index of a volume/partition. < / li >
< / ul >
< pre > Usage: reindex [-rvf] attr < list of filenames and/or directories>
-r enter directories recursively
-v verbose output
-f create/update all indices from the source volume,
"attr" is the path to the source volume
< / pre >
< ul >
< li > < b > rmindex< / b > - Removes an attribute from the index of a volume/partition.< / li >
< / ul >
2008-10-03 12:03:14 +04:00
< pre > Usage: rmindex [OPTION]... INDEX_NAME
Removes the index named INDEX_NAME from a disk volume. Once this has been
done, it will no longer be possible to use the query system to search for
files with the INDEX_NAME attribute.
-d, --volume=PATH a path on the volume from which the index will be
removed
-h, --help display this help and exit
-p, --pattern INDEX_NAME is a pattern
-v, --verbose print information about the index being removed
INDEX_NAME is the name of a file attribute.
2010-01-14 10:00:47 +03:00
If no volume is specified, the volume of the current directory is assumed.< / pre >
