zebraidx allows you to insert, delete or updates records in Zebra. zebraidx accepts a set options (see below) and exactly one command (mandatory).
directory
      Update the register with the files contained in
      directory.
      If no directory is provided, a list of files is read from
      stdin.
      See Administration in the Zebra
      Manual.
     
directory
      Remove the records corresponding to the files found under
      directory from the register.
     
directory
      Remove the records corresponding to the files found under
      directory from the register.
      Unlike command delete this command does not
      fail if a record does not exist (but which is attempted deleted).
     
      Write the changes resulting from the last update
      commands to the register. This command is only available if the use of
      shadow register files is enabled
      (see Shadow Registers in the
      Zebra Manual).
     
options
      Runs consistency check of register. May take a long time.
      Options may be one of quick,
      default or full.
     
Clean shadow files and "forget" changes.
databaseCreate database.
databaseDrop database (delete database).
Deletes an entire register (all files in shadow+register areas).
config-file
      Read the configuration file
      config-file instead of
      zebra.cfg.
     
database
      The records located should be associated with the database name
      database for access through the
      Z39.50 server.
     
numberSpecify how many per-record log lines, zebraidx, should produce during indexing and during register check (check command). If this option is not given, a value of 1000 is used.
group
      Update the files according to the group
      settings for group
      (see Zebra Configuration File in
      the Zebra manual).
     
file
      Write log messages to file instead
      of stderr.
     
Makes zebraidx skip symbolic links. By default, zebraidx follows them.
mbytes
      Use mbytes of memory before flushing
      keys to background storage. This setting affects performance when
      updating large databases.
     
Disable the use of shadow registers for this operation (see Shadow Registers in the Zebra manual).
Show analysis of the indexing process. The maintenance program works in a read-only mode and doesn't change the state of the index. This options is very useful when you wish to test a new profile.
type
      Update all files as type. Currently, the
      types supported are text, alvis
      and grs.subtype.
      Generally, it is probably advisable to specify the record types
      in the zebra.cfg file (see
      Record Types in the Zebra manual),
      to avoid confusion at subsequent updates.
     
Show Zebra version.
level
      Set the log level to level.
      level should be one of
      none, debug, and
      all.
