ifindex(8)
NAME
ifindex - Create nodelist index
SYNOPSIS
ifindex [-h] [-x verbosity] [-I file]
DESCRIPTION
Ifindex creates a nodelist index which is used by ifcico for faster
nodelist lookups.
Depending on the OPTIONS set when compiling the program, one of 3 different nodelist indices will be generated: a db- a (g)dbm- or a dbzversion. The dbz- type nodelist-index has some advantages (smaller
indices and faster index generation) over the other 2 types but is currently only in PRE-ALPHA state - you should also read the README before
using this type of nodelist-index.
OPTIONS
-h Display a short help message.
- -x Verbosity
- Set the debug verbosity. Verbosity may be a number from 0 to 32 to set 'on' bits from 1 to number, or a string of letters where 'a' = bit 1, 'b' = bit 2, etc. up to bit 26.
- -I File
- Use the alternate configuration file File.
RETURN CODES
0 Successfull
64 command line usage error
65 error reading config file

d lock files
f aka matching
g outbound directories
h call
j session handshake
k file transfer
l filelist
