+All diagnostic messages are printed to the standard output;

+.El
+.Pp
+If fatal parse errors are encountered while parsing, the offending file
+is printed to stderr, omitted from the index, and the parse continues
+with the next input file.
+.Ss Index Database
+The index database,
+.Pa mandoc.index ,
+is a
+.Xr recno 3
+database with record values consisting of
+.Pp
+.Bl -enum -compact
+.It
+the character

+.Pp
+Each of the above is NUL-terminated.
+.Pp
+If the record value is zero-length, it is unassigned.
+.Ss Keyword Database
+The keyword database,

+is a

+database of NUL-terminated keywords (record length is non-zero string
+length plus one) mapping to a 16-byte binary field consisting of the
+64-bit keyword type and the 64-bit
+.Sx Index Database
+record number, both in network-byte order.

+The type bit-mask consists of the following
+values mapping into

+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+The time to construct a new database pair grows linearly with the
+number of keywords in the input files.
+However, removing or updating entries with
+.Fl u
+or
+.Fl d ,
+respectively, grows as a multiple of the index length and input size.

+.Bl -tag -width Ds

+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+The
+.Nm
+utility exits with one of the following values:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
+.It 0
+No errors occurred.
+.It 5
+Invalid command line arguments were specified.
+No input files have been read.
+.It 6
+An operating system error occurred, for example memory exhaustion or an
+error accessing input files.
+Such errors cause
+.Nm
+to exit at once, possibly in the middle of parsing or formatting a file.
+The output databases are corrupt and should be removed.
+.El
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+If the following errors occur, the
+.Nm
+databases should be rebuilt.
+.Bl -diag
+.It "%s: Corrupt database"
+The keyword database file indicated by
+.Pa %s
+is unreadable.
+.It "%s: Corrupt index"
+The index database file indicated by
+.Pa %s
+is unreadable.
+.It "%s: Path too long"
+The file
+.Pa %s
+is too long.
+This usually indicates database corruption or invalid command-line
+arguments.
