NAME¶
notmuch-dump - Creates a plain-text dump of the tags of each message.
SYNOPSIS¶
notmuch dump [ <
filename> ] [--] [
<
search-term>...]
DESCRIPTION¶
Dump tags for messages matching the given search terms.
Output is to the given filename, if any, or to stdout. Note that using the
filename argument is deprecated.
These tags are the only data in the notmuch database that can't be recreated
from the messages themselves. The output of notmuch dump is therefore the only
critical thing to backup (and much more friendly to incremental backup than
the native database files.)
With no search terms, a dump of all messages in the database will be generated.
A "--" argument instructs notmuch that the remaining arguments are
search terms.
See
notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of the supported syntax for
<search-terms>.
