seki-strombrg> pyindex -h
malloc: using debugging hooks
Usage: /Dcs/seki/strombrg/bin/pyindex -d databasename [-i] [-s keyword] [-D] [-v] [-a]
-i says to index all files on stdin
-s keyword says to list all files containing keyword
-D says to dump the database contents to stdout
-v says to operate verbosely (can be repeated)
-a says to abbreviate (much less disk space - probably faster most of the time too)
-u says not to abbreviate (much more disk space - probably slower most of the time too
-A says to use a heuristic to skip lines that look like base64/uuencode/binhex or similar
-p says to skip indexing pronouns
-n says to skip indexing numbers (all decimal digits)
-N says to skip indexing words containing any digits

In any case -d is required
You must specify exactly one of -i, -s or -D

This program has two engines.  One is abbreviated (-a) and the other is unabbreviated (without -a).
        1) The "unabbreviated" storage mode is very straightforward, so if you need something bug-free that uses tons of space and CPU, use it.  It uses a single database.
        2) The "abbreviated" storage mode is much more complex, and goes to great lengths to reduce storage requirements and runtime
        The abbreviated mode is the default now.
