DESCRIPTION
       Indexmaker can create web pages which display the status of an array of
       mrtg interface status pages.

       --output filename
           set output filename (default: stdout)

       --filter (title|pagetop|name)(=~|!~)regexp
           Several filters may get set.  Each filter can match agains the
           contents of a specific section of the mrtg config file. Name refers
           to the bit in square brackets (option[name]: bla).

           Depending on the match operator chosen (=~ or !~) the match will be
           positive or negative.

           Note that some shells consider ! a special character.  It may be
           necessary to type \!~ instead.

       --title text
           Set title of generated index file (default: regexp)

       --bodyopt text
           The value of this argument gets appended to the <BODY> tag. This
           allows you to set document colors.  By default this option is set
           to

            bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000"

       --columns number
           Display graphs in a table with number columns (default: 2)

       --sort title|name|descr|original
           Sort the graphs in the page either by title, by name, by interface
           description, or leave them as is.

       --enumerate
           Add a sequence number to the title of each graph

       --width number
           Set width of graphs

       --height number
           Set the height of the graphs

       --show day|week|month|year|none
           Select which graph to show in the index page. You can supress
           images completely with --show=none.

       --section h1|title|name|description|portname
           Select what to use as the title for each graph in the page.  h1 is
           the H1 section from pagetop, title is the graph title, name is the
           bit in square brackets (option[name]: bla), and descr or
           description is the text from the Description field of the PageTop
           (the Cisco description text if it's available, otherwise just the
           interface description). portname is the "Port Name:" from pagetop.

       --sectionhost
           Extract the hostname from the target line (this does not work if
           the target is a mathematial expression). Prepend the hostname (and
           a colon) to the section if not already present.

       --rrdviewer path
           If you have set the LogFormat: rrdtool property in the mrtg.cfg
           file, the index will take this into account. The only thing you
           must tell it is the path to your grapher cgi. (default:
           /cgi-bin/14all.cgi)

       --prefix path
           By  default we assume    that  the file generated by indexmaker is
           stored in WorkDir.  If you want to  store it somewhere   else,
           specify how to reach WorkDir  from  the place where the Index is
           stored. Note that you have to use '/' as path separator as this
           will be used in urls. Speaking of which, you can even enter a whole
           url.

       --autoprefix path
           Requires --output.  Try to generate the prefix automatically by
           comparision of the path to the output file set with --output and
           the Htmldir set in the configuration files.  Particulary useful
           when multiple configuration files are specified, with different
           Htmldir settings.

       --optlog
           Default is logging in the generated page the command line, suppress
           with --nooptlog . Useful if the commandline contains a complex
           --pagetop=string which could confuse simple browsers.

       --someoption-file filename
           For any someoption which takes a string as parameter you can read
           the string from a file by adding <-file> to the option keyword. The
           whole content of the file will be read and used as the string. The
           file must exist.
