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 dbz- version. 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 |
DEBUG VERBOSITY
| d | lock files |
| f | aka matching |
| g | outbound directories |
| h | call |
| j | session handshake |
| k | file transfer |
| l | filelist |
| m | nodelist flags |
| r | modem |
| t | nodelist index |
| z | hydra protocol |
FILES
- $IFLIBDIR/config
- Runtime configuration file.
- nodelist.???
- A list of nodes in an FTN network.
