simsearch (1)

usage: simsearch [-h] [-k K_NEAREST] [-t THRESHOLD] [-q QUERIES] [--NxN]

• [--hex-query HEX_QUERY] [--query-id QUERY_ID] [--in FORMAT] [-o FILENAME] [-c] [-b BATCH_SIZE] [--scan] [--memory] [--times] target_filename

Search an FPS file for similar fingerprints

positional arguments:

target_filename

target filename

optional arguments:

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-k K_NEAREST, --k-nearest K_NEAREST

select the k nearest neighbors (use 'all' for all neighbors)

-t THRESHOLD, --threshold THRESHOLD

minimum similarity score threshold

-q QUERIES, --queries QUERIES

filename containing the query fingerprints

--NxN

use the targets as the queries, and exclude the selfsimilarity term

--hex-query HEX_QUERY

query in hex

--query-id QUERY_ID

id for the hex query

--in FORMAT

input query format (default uses the file extension, else 'fps')

-o FILENAME, --output FILENAME

output filename (default is stdout)

-c, --count

report counts

-b BATCH_SIZE, --batch-size BATCH_SIZE

batch size

--scan

scan the file to find matches (low memory overhead)

--memory

build and search an in-memory data structure (faster for multiple queries)

--times

report load and execution times to stderr
