We rely completely on zlib to do the right thing in detecting gzipped input. Since our dump format is chosen to be 7 bit ascii, this should be fine.

SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
**notmuch** **restore** [--accumulate] [--format=(auto|batch-tag|sup)] [--input=<*filename*>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Restores the tags from the given file (see **notmuch dump**).
|
|
|
|
The input is read from the given filename, if any, or from stdin.
|
|
|
|
Supported options for **restore** include
|
|
|
|
``--accumulate``
|
|
The union of the existing and new tags is applied, instead of
|
|
replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the dump
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
``--format=(sup|batch-tag|auto)``
|
|
Notmuch restore supports two plain text dump formats, with each
|
|
line specifying a message-id and a set of tags. For details of
|
|
the actual formats, see **notmuch-dump(1)**.
|
|
|
|
**sup**
|
|
The **sup** dump file format is specifically chosen to be
|
|
compatible with the format of files produced by sup-dump. So
|
|
if you've previously been using sup for mail, then the
|
|
**notmuch restore** command provides you a way to import all
|
|
of your tags (or labels as sup calls them).
|
|
|
|
**batch-tag**
|
|
The **batch-tag** dump format is intended to more robust
|
|
against malformed message-ids and tags containing whitespace
|
|
or non-\ **ascii(7)** characters. See **notmuch-dump(1)**
|
|
for details on this format.
|
|
|
|
**notmuch restore** updates the maildir flags according to
|
|
tag changes if the **maildir.synchronize\_flags**
|
|
configuration option is enabled. See **notmuch-config(1)**
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
**auto**
|
|
This option (the default) tries to guess the format from the
|
|
input. For correctly formed input in either supported
|
|
format, this heuristic, based the fact that batch-tag format
|
|
contains no parentheses, should be accurate.
|
|
|
|
GZIPPED INPUT
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
\ **notmuch restore** will detect if the input is compressed in
|
|
**gzip(1)** format and automatically decompress it while reading. This
|
|
detection does not depend on file naming and in particular works for
|
|
standard input.
