mdimport(1) BSD General Commands Manual mdimport(1)NAME
mdimport, mdimport32 -- import file hierarchies into the metadata datastore.
SYNOPSIS
mdimport [-VXLArgn] [-d level | category] [-w delay] file | directory
mdimport32 [-VXLArgn] [-d level | category] [-w delay] file | directory
DESCRIPTION
mdimport is used to test Spotlight plug-ins, list the installed plug-ins and schema, and re-index files handled by a plug-in when a new plug-
in is installed.
mdimport32 is used in exactly the same way, but for 32 bit plugins.
The following options are available:
-g plugin Load the plugin at the provided path, ignoring system installed plugins. Useful for testing plugins that have not yet been
installed.
-V Print timing information for this run of mdimport.
-A Print out the list of all of the attributes and their localizations in the current language and exit.
-X Print the schema file and exit
-r Ask the server to reimport files for UTIs claimed by the listed plugin. For example, the following would cause all of the chat
files on the system to be reimported:
mdimport -r /System/Library/Spotlight/Chat.mdimporter
-p Print out performance information gathered during the run.
-L Print the list of installed importers and exit.
-d level Print debugging information. Level can be 1-4.
-n Don't actually set the attributes on the file. Useful for debugging.
-w msecs Wait for the specified interval between scanning files.
NOTES
The -f switch is obsolete in Leopard and beyond.
