Make all parameter descriptions etc. use reStructuredText definition lists with uniform style and indentation. Remove redundant indentation from around the lists. Remove blank lines between term lines and definition blocks. Use four spaces for indentation. This is almost completely whitespace and paragraph reflow changes.

SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
**notmuch** **restore** [--accumulate] [--format=(auto|batch-tag|sup)] [--input=<*filename*>]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Restores the tags from the given file (see **notmuch dump**).
|
|
|
|
The input is read from the given filename, if any, or from stdin.
|
|
|
|
Supported options for **restore** include
|
|
|
|
``--accumulate``
|
|
The union of the existing and new tags is applied, instead of
|
|
replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the dump
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
``--format=(sup|batch-tag|auto)``
|
|
Notmuch restore supports two plain text dump formats, with each
|
|
line specifying a message-id and a set of tags. For details of the
|
|
actual formats, see **notmuch-dump(1)**.
|
|
|
|
**sup**
|
|
The **sup** 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
|
|
**notmuch restore** command provides you a way to import all
|
|
of your tags (or labels as sup calls them).
|
|
|
|
**batch-tag**
|
|
The **batch-tag** dump format is intended to more robust
|
|
against malformed message-ids and tags containing whitespace
|
|
or non-\ **ascii(7)** characters. See **notmuch-dump(1)** for
|
|
details on this format.
|
|
|
|
**notmuch restore** updates the maildir flags according to tag
|
|
changes if the **maildir.synchronize\_flags** configuration
|
|
option is enabled. See **notmuch-config(1)** for details.
|
|
|
|
**auto**
|
|
This option (the default) tries to guess the format from the
|
|
input. For correctly formed input in either supported format,
|
|
this heuristic, based the fact that batch-tag format contains
|
|
no parentheses, should be accurate.
|
|
|
|
``--include=(config|properties|tags)``
|
|
Control what kind of metadata is restored.
|
|
|
|
**config**
|
|
Restore configuration data to the database. Each configuration
|
|
line starts with "#@ ", followed by a space separated
|
|
key-value pair. Both key and value are hex encoded if needed.
|
|
|
|
**properties**
|
|
Restore per-message (key,value) metadata. Each line starts
|
|
with "#= ", followed by a message id, and a space separated
|
|
list of key=value pairs. Ids, keys and values are hex encoded
|
|
if needed. See **notmuch-properties(7)** for more details.
|
|
|
|
**tags**
|
|
Restore per-message metadata, namely tags. See *format* above
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
The default is to restore all available types of data. The option
|
|
can be specified multiple times to select some subset.
|
|
|
|
``--input=``\ <filename>
|
|
Read input from given file instead of stdin.
|
|
|
|
GZIPPED INPUT
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
\ **notmuch restore** will detect if the input is compressed in
|
|
**gzip(1)** format and automatically decompress it while reading. This
|
|
detection does not depend on file naming and in particular works for
|
|
standard input.
