notmuch/man/man1/notmuch-restore.1
Jameson Graef Rollins f079f5f931 break up dump and restore man pages.
These functions are enough different in their behavior that it's not
really worth it to combine them.  They overlap in the format of the
dump file, but we can have a separate page that describes the dump
format, and either reference it or include it.  This also keeps things
nice and clean with one page per command.

.TH NOTMUCH-RESTORE 1 2011-12-04 "Notmuch 0.10.2"
.SH NAME
notmuch-restore \- Restores the tags from the given file (see notmuch dump).
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "notmuch restore"
.RB [ "--accumulate" ]
.RI "[ <" filename "> ]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
Restores the tags from the given file (see
.BR "notmuch dump" ")."
The input is read from the given filename, if any, or from stdin.
Note: The 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
.B "notmuch restore"
command provides you a way to import all of your tags (or labels as
sup calls them).
The --accumulate switch causes the union of the existing and new tags to be
applied, instead of replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the
dump file.
See \fBnotmuch-search-terms\fR(7)
for details of the supported syntax for <search-terms>.
