NAME

       htpurge -  remove unused documents from the database (general maintenance script)

SYNOPSIS

       htpurge [-][-a][-c configfile][-u][-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Htpurge  functions  to  remove  specified  URLs from the databases as well as bad URLs, unretrieved URLs,
       obsolete documents, etc. It is recommended that htpurge be run after htdig to clean out any documents  of
       this sort.

       OPTIONS

       -      Take URL list from standard input (rather than specified with -u). Format of input file is one URL
              per line.  -a Use alternate work files. Tells htpurge to append .work to database files, causing a
              second  copy  of  the  database to be built. This allows the original files to be used by htsearch
              during the run.

       -c configfile
              Use the specified configfile instead of the default.

       -u URL Add this URL to the list of documents to remove. Must be specified multiple times if more than one
              URL are to be removed. Should nor be used together with -.

       -v     Verbose mode. This increases the verbosity of the program.  Using more than  2  is  probably  only
              useful  for debugging purposes. The default verbose mode (using only one -v) gives a nice progress
              report while digging.

FILES

       /etc/htdig/htdig.conf
              The default configuration file.
