COMMANDS INDEX(1)
NAME TYPE
INDEX External
PURPOSE
Builds an index which is used by LOCATE to retrieve
path names given keyword lists.
SYNTAX
INDEX[ <path>][ /V<volume_name>][ /U][ /D<mm>-<dd>-<yy>]
COMMENTS
Parameters to INDEX are:
<path> disk drive and path of root directory to be
searched. Default is the current directory.
/V <volume name> is an 11 character string
without blanks which will be prefixed to
retrieved list of path names.
/U files being indexed will be appended to the
existing index in this directory. Default
is to create a new index file.
/D mm-dd-yy is the date of the earliest file
to be indexed. Default 1-1-80.
The list of files indexed may be redirected. Advisory
messages will still be displayed on the console.
The scope of the index may be controlled both by the
choice of directory in which LOCATE is installed and by
the path option. The path names returned by LOCATE are
relative to path specified to INDEX. If the default
directory is not indexed, the path name returned by
locate must be prefixed by the path name specified to
INDEX.
The /v switch is used to distinguish between diskettes
indexed by using a disk drive name in the path option.
The /u switch appends the results of the current index to
a previous index. Consequently the files MAP.INX,
ENTRY.INX and KEY.INX must be present.
The /d option may be used in conjuntion with the /u
switch to add files created or modified after a certain
date to the index. Both the modified and original files
may be in the index, and thus both may be returned by
LOCATE.
The files WORDS.INX and EXTENSIO.INX should be present
for any run of INDEX. See the discussion of "False
Drops".
Help files (those with the extension ".HLP") are required
to process certain error messages but are not otherwise
required.
