The following command line options are accepted:
xindy [-h] [-t] [-v] [-l logfile] [-o outfile]
[-L n] [-f filterprog]
indexstyle raw-index
The argument indexstyle names a file, containing the index style
description. The argument raw-index names a file, containing the
raw index. Both arguments are mandatory.
<tag/<tt/-h// Gives a short summary of all command line options.
<tag/<tt/-l// Writes helpful information into the specified
<tt/logfile/. For example, the keyword mappings are written into this
file, so one can check if the intended mappings were actually
performed this way.
<tag/<tt/-o// Explicitly defines the name of the <tt/output/ file. If
not given, the name of the <tt/raw-index/ is used with its extension
changed to `<tt/.ind/' (or added, if it had no extension at all).
<tag><tt/-t// Enters tracing mode of the symbolic markup tags. The
format of the emitted tags can be defined with the command
<tt/markup-trace/.
<tag/<tt/-L// Set the <sf/xindy/ logging-level to <em/n/.
<tag/<tt/-f// Run <tt/filterprog/ on <tt/raw-index/ before reading.
The program must act as a filter reading from stdin and writing to
stdout. The most obvious use of this option in conjunction with TeX
is to run <tt/-f tex2xindy/ on the index file prior to reading the
entries into <sf/xindy/.
<tag/<tt/-v// Shows the version number of <sf/xindy/.
Errors and warnings are reported to stdout and additionally to
the logfile if -l was specified.
The system uses the concept of a search path for finding the
index style files and modules. The searchpath can be set with the
environment variable XINDY_SEARCHPATH which must contain a list
of colon-separated directories. If it ends with a colon, the built-in
searchpath is added to the entire searchpath. See the command
searchpath for further details.
