Now tracker-stats is part of tracker-status:

  $ tracker status
  $ tracker status --stat [-a] [[expression1]...]
  $ tracker status --collect-debug-info

Running on its own gives:

  $ tracker status
  Currently indexed: 1023 files, 121 folders
  Remaining space on database partition: 134.2 GB (58.37%)
  All data miners are idle, indexing complete

The tracker-search command is integrated too of course:

  $ tracker search [options...] [[expression1] ...]

Same for tracker-tag:

  $ tracker tag FILE1 [FILE2 ...] [-l <limit>] [-o <offset>] [-r]
  $ tracker tag -t [[TAG1] [TAG2] ...] [-s] [-r]
  $ tracker tag -a <TAG> [-e <description>]
  $ tracker tag -d <TAG>

And for tracker-info:

  $ tracker info [options...] <file1> [[file2] ...]

All commands show their options (same as -h) when run with no args 
(except a few, like "tracker daemon" and "tracker status"). This is 
better than before where we would spit some warning out about missing 
args and people had to use the --help command manually anyway after that.

Yes, and they're optionally built.
