SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
**notmuch** **compact** [--quiet] [--backup=<*directory*>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The **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 discarded, unless the ``--backup=``\ <directory> option is
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
Note that the database write lock will be held during the compaction
|
|
process (which may be quite long) to protect data integrity.
|
|
|
|
Supported options for **compact** include
|
|
|
|
``--backup=``\ <directory>
|
|
Save the current database to the given directory before replacing
|
|
it with the compacted database. The backup directory must not
|
|
exist and it must reside on the same mounted filesystem as the
|
|
current database.
|
|
|
|
``--quiet``
|
|
Do not report database compaction progress to stdout.
|
|
|
|
ENVIRONMENT
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The following environment variables can be used to control the behavior
|
|
of notmuch.
|
|
|
|
**NOTMUCH\_CONFIG**
|
|
Specifies the location of the notmuch configuration file. Notmuch
|
|
will use ${HOME}/.notmuch-config if this variable is not set.
