NAME

       doodled - a daemon to keep your doodle database up-to-date

SYNOPSIS

       doodled [OPTIONS] [FILENAMES]*

DESCRIPTION

       doodled monitors your filesystem for changes and updates the doodle database to keep it always up-to-date
       with  the  latest  data.   doodled  is experimental at this point.  It uses libfam and is thus limited to
       monitoring less than 1024 directories for changes.

OPTIONS

       -d FILENAME, --database=FILENAME
              use FILENAME for the location of the database (use when building or searching).   This  option  is
              particularly  useful  when  doodle is used to search different types of files (or is operated with
              different extractor options).  Using this option doodle can be used to build  specialized  indices
              (i.e. one per file system), which can in turn improve search performance.  When searching, you can
              pass a colon-separated list of database file names, in that case all databases are searched.  Note
              that  the  disk-space  consumption  of a single database is typically slightly smaller than if the
              database is split into multiple files.  Nevertheless, the space-savings are likely to be small  (a
              few  percent).  You can also use  the environment variable DOODLE_PATH to set the list of database
              files to search.  The option overrides the environment variable if both are used.  If  the  option
              is not given and DOODLE_PATH is not set, "/var/lib/doodle" is used.

       -D, --debug
              do  not detach from the terminal (do not daemonize).  Also will print log messages to stderr if no
              logfile is specified.

       -f, --filenames
              include filenames (full path) in the set of keywords

       -h, --help
              print help page

       -l LIBRARIES, --library=LIBRARIES
              specify which libextractor plugins to use  (for  building  the  index  with  -b  or  for  printing
              information about files with -e)

       -L FILENAME, --log=FILENAME
              log messages to the given logfile.

       -m LIMIT, --memory=LIMIT
              use  at  most LIMIT MB of memory for the nodes of the suffix-tree (after that, serialize to disk).
              Note that a smaller value will reduce memory consumption but increase the size  of  the  temporary
              file (and slow down indexing).  The default is 8 MB.

       -n, --nodefault
              do not load the default set of plugins (only load plugins specified with -l)

       -P PATH, --prunepaths=PATH
              Directories  to  not  put  in  the  database,  which  would otherwise be. The environment variable
              PRUNEPATHS also sets this value. Default is "/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /dev /proc /sys".  This option
              can also be used when searching, in which case search results in the specified directories will be
              ignored.

       -v, --version
              print the version number

       -V, --verbose
              be verbose

ENVIRONMENT

       DOODLE_PATH
              Colon-separated list of databases to search.  Note that when building the database this path  must
              either  only  contain  one  filename  or  the option -b must be used to specify the database file.
              Default is "/var/lib/doodle".

       PRUNEPATHS
              Space-separated list of paths to exclude.  Can be overridden with the -P option.
