xcodeindex(1) BSD General Commands Manual xcodeindex(1)
NAME
xcodeindex -- indexes Xcode projects
SYNOPSIS
xcodeindex [-project projectname] [-quiet] [-destPath path]
[-loglevel level] [indexaction ...]
xcodeindex -version
xcodeindex -help
DESCRIPTION
xcodeindex indexes an Xcode project.
Usage
Run xcodeindex from the directory containing your project (i.e. the
directory containing the projectname.xcode package). If you have multiple
projects in the this directory you will need to use -project to indicate
which project should be indexed.
By default, xcodeindex updates the project index if it exists, otherwise
it creates a new index.
Options
-project projectname
Index the project specified by projectname. Required if there are
multiple project files in the same directory.
-quiet
Suppresses all logging while indexing.
-destPath path
Places the project index in the directory specified by path.
-loglevel level
Turns on varying degrees of indexing debugging. The level range is
from zero to six, enabling a staggered number of the existing
indexing defaults for the indexer. If an option greater than six is
used, then the maximum level of logging is enabled. The logging
levels are defined as:
0 No logging
1 Prints the name of the file being indexed. This is the
default logging level.
2 File processing output
3 Symbol updating output
4 Symbol insertion and creation output
5 Parser basic output
6 Parser error output
The levels are inclusive (thus enabling log level 4 would also
automatically include levels 1, 2, and 3). Output from higher log-
ging levels than the default (level 1) is not expected to be useful
for most developers, but could be valuable in troubleshooting cases
where there is a problem with indexing a particular Xcode project.
indexaction ...
Specify an index action (or actions) to perform on the project.
Available build actions are:
clean Removes the index for the project.
build Updates the index for the project, creating it if nec-
essary. This is the default index action.
stats Prints the statistics for the index (number of classes,
etc)
dump Dumps a tab-delimited format of the index (for major
symbols - classes, methods, etc) to stdout
-version
Displays component version numbers for xcodeindex. These can be
compared to the version numbers in the Xcode application's About
Xcode window.
-help
Displays usage information for xcodeindex.
EXAMPLES
xcodeindex clean
Cleans the index.
xcodeindex -project FirstProject -project SecondProject -project
ThirdProject -quiet
Indexes three projects and suppresses all logging.
