.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBxindy\fR is the formatter-indepedent command of xindy, the flexible
indexing system. It takes a raw index as input, and produces a merged,
sorted and tagged index. Merging, sorting, and tagging is controlled
by xindy style files.
.PP
Files with the raw index are passed as arguments. If no arguments are
passed, the raw index will be read from standard input.
.PP
\&\fBxindy\fR is completely described in its manual that you will find on
its Web Site, http://www.xindy.org/. A good introductionary
description appears in the indexing chapter of the LaTeX Companion (2nd ed.)
.PP
If you want to produce an index for LaTeX documents, the command
\&\fItexindy\fR\|(1) is probably more of interest for you. It is a wrapper for
\&\fBxindy\fR that turns on many LaTeX conventions by default.

.el .IP "\f(CW\-\-out\-file\fR \fIoutfile.ind\fR / \fB\-o\fR \fIoutfile.ind\fR" 4
.IX Item "--out-file outfile.ind / -o outfile.ind"
Output index to file \fIoutfile.ind\fR. If this option is not passed, the
name of the output file is the base name of the first argument and the
file extension \fIind\fR. If the raw index is read from standard input,
this option is mandatory.

.IX Item "--log-file log.ilg / -t log.ilg"
Output log messages to file \fIlog.ilg\fR. These log messages are
independent from the progress messages that you can influence with
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-debug\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`\-\-verbose\*(C'\fR.

.el .IP "\f(CW\-\-language\fR \fIlang\fR / \fB\-L\fR \fIlang\fR" 4
.IX Item "--language lang / -L lang"
The index is sorted according to the rules of language \fIlang\fR. These
rules are encoded in a xindy module created by \fImake-rules\fR.
.Sp
If no input encoding is specified via \f(CW\*(C`\-\-codepage\*(C'\fR, a xindy module
for that language is searched with a latin, a cp, an iso, or ascii
encoding, in that order.
.ie n .IP """\-\-codepage""\fR \fIenc\fR / \fB\-C\fR \fIenc" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW\-\-codepage\fR \fIenc\fR / \fB\-C\fR \fIenc\fR" 4
.IX Item "--codepage enc / -C enc"
The raw input is in input encoding \fIenc\fR. This information is used to
select the correct xindy sort module and also the \fIinputenc\fR target
encoding for \f(CW\*(C`latex\*(C'\fR input markup.
.Sp
When \f(CW\*(C`omega\*(C'\fR input markup is used, \f(CW\*(C`utf8\*(C'\fR is always used as
codepage, this option is then ignored.
.ie n .IP """\-\-module""\fR \fImodule\fR / \fB\-M\fR \fImodule" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW\-\-module\fR \fImodule\fR / \fB\-M\fR \fImodule\fR" 4
.IX Item "--module module / -M module"
Load the xindy module \fImodule.xdy\fR. This option may be specified
multiple times. The modules are searched in the xindy search path that
can be changed with the environment variable \f(CW\*(C`XINDY_SEARCHPATH\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP """\-\-input\-markup""\fR \fIinput\fR / \fB\-I\fR \fIinput" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW\-\-input\-markup\fR \fIinput\fR / \fB\-I\fR \fIinput\fR" 4
.IX Item "--input-markup input / -I input"
Specifies the input markup of the raw index. Supported values for
\&\fIinput\fR are \f(CW\*(C`latex\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`omega\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`xindy\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`latex\*(C'\fR input markup is the one that is emitted by default from the
LaTeX kernel, or by the \f(CW\*(C`index\*(C'\fR macro package of David Jones.
^^\-notation of single byte characters is supported. Usage of LaTeX's
\&\fIinputenc\fR package is assumed as well.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`omega\*(C'\fR input markup is like \f(CW\*(C`latex\*(C'\fR input markup, but with Omega's
^^\-notation as encoding for non-ASCII characters. LaTeX \fIinputenc\fR
encoding is not used then, and \f(CW\*(C`utf8\*(C'\fR is enforced to be the codepage.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`xindy\*(C'\fR input markup is specified in the xindy manual.
.ie n .IP """\-\-interactive""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW\-\-interactive\fR" 4
.IX Item "--interactive"
Start xindy in interactive mode. You will be in a xindy read-eval-loop
where xindy language expressions are read and evaluated interactively.
.ie n .IP """\-\-mem\-file""\fR \fIxindy.mem" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW\-\-mem\-file\fR \fIxindy.mem\fR" 4
.IX Item "--mem-file xindy.mem"
This option is only usable for developers or in very rare situations.
The compiled xindy kernel is stored in a so-called \fImemory file\fR,
canonically named \fIxindy.mem\fR, and located in the xindy library
directory. This option allows to use another xindy kernel.
