13 public-inbox-compact is a wrapper for L<xapian-compact(1)>
14 which locks the inbox and prevents other processes such as
15 L<public-inbox-watch(1)> or L<public-inbox-mda(1)> from
16 writing while it operates.
18 It enforces the use of the C<--no-renumber> option of
19 L<xapian-compact(1)> which is required to work with the
20 rest of the public-inbox search code.
22 This command is rarely needed for active inboxes.
24 Using the C<--compact> option of L<public-inbox-index(1)>
25 is recommended, instead, and only when doing a C<--reindex>.
33 Compact all inboxes configured in ~/.public-inbox/config.
34 This is an alternative to specifying individual inboxes directories
43 These options are passed directly to L<xapian-compact(1)>.
53 The default config file, normally "~/.public-inbox/config".
