MYISAM_FTDUMP(1)	     MariaDB Database System		MYISAM_FTDUMP(1)

NAME
     myisam_ftdump - display full-text index information

SYNOPSIS
     myisam_ftdump [options] tbl_name index_num

DESCRIPTION
     myisam_ftdump displays information about FULLTEXT indexes in MyISAM tables.
     It  reads	the  MyISAM index file directly, so it must be run on the server
     host where the table is located. Before using myisam_ftdump, be sure to is-
     sue a FLUSH TABLES statement first if the server is running.

     myisam_ftdump scans and dumps the entire index, which is  not  particularly
     fast. On the other hand, the distribution of words changes infrequently, so
     it need not be run often.

     Invoke myisam_ftdump like this:

	 shell> myisam_ftdump [options] tbl_name index_num

     The  tbl_name  argument  should be the name of a MyISAM table. You can also
     specify a table by naming its index file (the file with the  .MYI	suffix).
     If  you  do not invoke myisam_ftdump in the directory where the table files
     are located, the table or index file name must be preceded by the path name
     to the table's database directory. Index numbers begin with 0.

     Example: Suppose that the test database contains a table named mytexttablel
     that has the following definition:

	 CREATE TABLE mytexttable
	 (
	   id	INT NOT NULL,
	   txt	TEXT NOT NULL,
	   PRIMARY KEY (id),
	   FULLTEXT (txt)
	 );

     The index on id is index 0 and the FULLTEXT index on txt  is  index  1.  If
     your working directory is the test database directory, invoke myisam_ftdump
     as follows:

	 shell> myisam_ftdump mytexttable 1

     If   the	path   name   to   the	 test  database  directory  is	/usr/lo-
     cal/mysql/data/test, you can also specify the  table  name  argument  using
     that  path  name.	This is useful if you do not invoke myisam_ftdump in the
     database directory:

	 shell> myisam_ftdump /usr/local/mysql/data/test/mytexttable 1

     You can use myisam_ftdump to generate a list of index entries in  order  of
     frequency of occurrence like this:

	 shell> myisam_ftdump -c mytexttable 1 | sort -r

     myisam_ftdump supports the following options:

     *	 --help, -h -?

	 Display a help message and exit.

     *	 --count, -c

	 Calculate per-word statistics (counts and global weights).

     *	 --dump, -d

	 Dump the index, including data offsets and word weights.

     *	 --length, -l

	 Report the length distribution.

     *	 --stats, -s

	 Report  global  index	statistics.  This is the default operation if no
	 other operation is specified.

     *	 --verbose, -v

	 Verbose mode. Print more output about what the program does.
