27.SH DESCRIPTION
28This program takes two
29.BR mg (1)
30database compressed text files and appends the second to
31the first.
32It is part of the
33.BR mgmerge (1)
34addition to the
35.BR mg (1)
36package.
37.SH OPTIONS
38Options may appear in any order.
39.TP "\w'\fB\-d\fP \fIdirectory\fP'u+2n"
40.B \-h
41This displays a usage line on
42.IR stderr .
43.TP
44.B \-s
45This option will cause a slow merge to be performed on the inverted files,
46where each inverted file entry is decoded and recoded.
47The default is a fast merge. Accumulated fast merges slowly degrade
48compression performance on the resulting inverted file so
49a periodic slow merge is recommended.
50.TP
51.B \-w
52By default the database .weights file is updated with
53new weights for the new documents in
54.B mg_text_merge.
55The
56.B -w
57option turns this step off.
58.TP
59.BI \-d " directory"
60This specifies the directory where the document collection can be found.
61.TP
62.BI \-f " name"
63This specifies the base name of the document collection.
64.SH ENVIRONMENT
65.TP "\w'\fBMGDATA\fP'u+2n"
66.SB MGDATA
67If this environment variable exists, then its value is used as the
68default directory where the
69.BR mg (1)
70collection files are. If this variable does not exist, then the
71directory \*(lq\fB.\fP\*(rq is used by default. The command line
72option
73.BI \-d " directory"
74overrides the directory in
75.BR MGDATA .
76.SH FILES
77.TP 20
78.B *.old.invf.dict
79The old compressed stemmed dictionary.
80.TP
81.B *.new.invf.dict
82The new compressed stemmed dictionary.
83.TP
84.B *.invf.dict
85The resulting merged compressed stemmed dictionary.
86.TP
87.B *.old.invf.ORG
88The original inverted file saved by
89.BR mg_invf_rebuild .
90.TP
91.B *.old.invf
92The old inverted file.
93.TP
94.B *.new.invf
95The new inverted file.
96.TP
97.B *.invf
98The resulting merged inverted file.
99.TP
100.B *.weight
101The exact weights file.
