Regenerating the index

If your `index' file becomes corrupted, or if you need a copy of the current index for some reason, use

gen-index [ -n | --numeric ]
          [ -d directory | --directory=directory ]
          [ -o filename | --outfile=filename ]
          [ -h | --help] [ -V | --version ]

With no options, gen-index generates an index that is ordered the same as the order of the categories as they appear in the `categories' file, and prints it to standard output. The options are:

-n

--numeric

Sorts index entries numerically.

-d directory

--directory=directory

Uses directory as the directory containing the database, by default GNATS_ROOT (see section Where GNATS lives).

-o filename

--outfile=filename

Places output in filename rather than sending it to standard output.

-h

--help

Prints the usage for gen-index.

-V

--version

Prints the version number for gen-index.
