The syntax --output=filename is a smaller change than deleting the output argument completely, and conceivably useful e.g. when running notmuch under a debugger.

.TH NOTMUCH-DUMP 1 2012-06-01 "Notmuch 0.13.2"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
notmuch-dump \- creates a plain-text dump of the tags of each message
|
|
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.B "notmuch dump"
|
|
.RI "[ --output=<" filename "> ] [--]"
|
|
.RI "[ <" search-term ">...]"
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Dump tags for messages matching the given search terms.
|
|
|
|
Output is to the given filename, if any, or to stdout.
|
|
|
|
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 \fBnotmuch-search-terms\fR(7)
|
|
for details of the supported syntax for <search-terms>.
