.SH "NAME"
tracker-miner-fs-3 \- Used to crawl the file system to mine data\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBtracker\-miner\-fs\-3\fR [\fIOPTION\fR\&...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBtracker\-miner\-fs\-3\fR is not supposed to be run by the user since it is started by its \&.desktop file when the user logs in\&. It can also be started manually of course for debugging purposes\&. You can not run more than one instance of this at the same time\&.
.sp
\fBtracker\-miner\-fs\-3\fR mines information about applications and files only\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-?, \-\-help\fR
.RS 4
Show summary of options\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-V, \-\-version\fR
.RS 4
Returns the version of this binary\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-s, \-\-initial\-sleep=SECONDS\fR
.RS 4
Sets the initial sleep time before crawling the file system is started\&. If the
\fB\-\-no\-daemon\fR
option is used, this option is ignored\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-n, \-\-no\-daemon\fR
.RS 4
Tells the miner to exit once all indexing has finished and the database is up to date\&. This is not the default mode of operation for the miner, usually it stays around acting like a daemon to monitor file updates which may occur over time\&. This option renders the
\fB\-\-initial\-sleep\fR
option moot\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-e, \-\-eligible=FILE\fR
.RS 4
Checks if
\fBFILE\fR
is eligible for being mined based on the current configuration rules\&. In addition to this, it will check if
\fBFILE\fR
would be monitored for changes\&. This works with non\-existing
\fBFILE\fR
arguments as well as existing
\fBFILE\fR
arguments\&.
.RE
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.PP
\fBG_MESSAGES_DEBUG\fR
.RS 4
Controls verbose log output from GLib\-based code\&. Use
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Tracker
to see only Tracker\-related logs, or
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all
to see everything\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBTRACKER_DEBUG\fR
.RS 4
Enables more specialized debug output\&. Pass a comma\-separated list of one or more keywords:
