Description
This option specifies the path of the collection to create or open. This is
required to execute mkvdk .
This option turns off file locking. Locking is on by default.
This option performs work immediately. If this option is not used, indexing
work is done in the background, as time permits.
This option shows information about the collection, such as its description and
the date when it was last modified.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This option displays mkvdk syntax options.
This option runs mkvdk in debugging mode.
