.TH NOTMUCH-COMPACT 1 2013-08-23 "Notmuch 0.16"
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
notmuch-compact \- compact the notmuch database
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.B notmuch compact
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B compact
|
||
|
|
command can be used to compact the notmuch database. This can both reduce
|
||
|
|
the space required by the database and improve lookup performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The compacted database is built in a temporary directory and is later
|
||
|
|
moved into the place of the origin database. The original uncompacted
|
||
|
|
database is preserved to be deleted by the user as desired.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the database write lock will be held during the compaction
|
||
|
|
process (which may be quite long) to protect data integrity.
