NAME
       xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several

SYNOPSIS
       xapian-compact [OPTIONS] SOURCE_DATABASE... DESTINATION_DATABASE

DESCRIPTION
       xapian-compact - Compact a database, or merge and compact several

OPTIONS
       -b, --blocksize
              Set the blocksize in bytes (e.g. 4096) or K (e.g. 4K) (must be
              between 2K and 64K and a power of 2, default 8K)

       -n, --no-full
              Disable full compaction

       -F, --fuller
              Enable fuller compaction (not recommended if you plan to update
              the compacted database)

       -m, --multipass
              If merging more than 3 databases, merge the postlists in
              multiple passes (which is generally faster but requires more
              disk space for temporary files)

       --no-renumber Preserve the numbering of document ids (useful if you
       have
              external references to them, or have set them to match unique
              ids from an external source).  Currently this option is only
              supported when merging databases if they have disjoint ranges of
              used document ids

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit
