SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
**notmuch** **count** [*option* ...] <*search-term*> ...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Count messages matching the search terms.
|
|
|
|
The number of matching messages (or threads) is output to stdout.
|
|
|
|
With no search terms, a count of all messages (or threads) in the
|
|
database will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
See **notmuch-search-terms(7)** for details of the supported syntax for
|
|
<search-terms>.
|
|
|
|
Supported options for **count** include
|
|
|
|
``--output=(messages|threads|files)``
|
|
|
|
**messages**
|
|
Output the number of matching messages. This is the default.
|
|
|
|
**threads**
|
|
Output the number of matching threads.
|
|
|
|
**files**
|
|
Output the number of files associated with matching
|
|
messages. This may be bigger than the number of matching
|
|
messages due to duplicates (i.e. multiple files having the
|
|
same message-id).
|
|
|
|
``--exclude=(true|false)``
|
|
Specify whether to omit messages matching search.tag\_exclude
|
|
from the count (the default) or not.
|
|
|
|
``--batch``
|
|
Read queries from a file (stdin by default), one per line, and
|
|
output the number of matching messages (or threads) to stdout,
|
|
one per line. On an empty input line the count of all messages
|
|
(or threads) in the database will be output. This option is not
|
|
compatible with specifying search terms on the command line.
|
|
|
|
``--lastmod``
|
|
Append lastmod (counter for number of database updates) and UUID
|
|
to the output. lastmod values are only comparable between databases
|
|
with the same UUID.
|
|
|
|
``--input=``\ <filename>
|
|
Read input from given file, instead of from stdin. Implies
|
|
``--batch``.
