# SYNOPSIS
-bup midx [-o *outfile*] <-a|-f|*idxnames*...>
+bup midx [-o *outfile*] \<-a|-f|*idxnames*...\>
# DESCRIPTION
# OPTIONS
--o, --output=*filename.midx*
+-o, \--output=*filename.midx*
: use the given output filename for the .midx file.
Default is auto-generated.
--a, --auto
+-a, \--auto
: automatically generate new .midx files for any .idx
files where it would be appropriate.
--f, --force
+-f, \--force
: force generation of a single new .midx file containing
*all* your .idx files, even if other .midx files
already exist. This will result in the fastest backup
performance, but may take a long time to run.
---dir=*packdir*
+\--dir=*packdir*
: specify the directory containing the .idx/.midx files
to work with. The default is $BUP_DIR/objects/pack and
$BUP_DIR/indexcache/*.
---max-files
+\--max-files
: maximum number of .idx files to open at a time. You
can use this if you have an especially small number of file
descriptors available, so that midx can complete
all your .idx files at once. The default value of this
option should be fine for most people.
---check
+\--check
: validate a .midx file by ensuring that all objects in
its contained .idx files exist inside the .midx. May
be useful for debugging.
