Sphinx-doc already formats the terms appropriately for a given backend (bold in html and man). `makeinfo` complains noisily about formatting inside a @item if we add our own explicit formatting. This change may change the formatting in the info output. On the other hand, the existing use of quotes for bold is not that great anyway. In some places blank lines were removed to preserve the logical structure of a definition list.

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 :any:`notmuch-search-terms(7)` for details of the supported syntax for
|
|
<search-terms>.
|
|
|
|
Supported options for **count** include
|
|
|
|
.. program:: count
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --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).
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --exclude=(true|false)
|
|
|
|
Specify whether to omit messages matching search.exclude\_tags from
|
|
the count (the default) or not.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --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.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --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.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --input=<filename>
|
|
|
|
Read input from given file, instead of from stdin. Implies
|
|
``--batch``.
