With the original quiet function, there's an actual purpose (hiding excessively long compiler command lines so that warnings and errors from the compiler can be seen). But with things like quiet_symlink there's nothing quieter. In fact "SYMLINK" is longer than "ln -sf". So all this is doing is hiding the actual command from the user for no real benefit. The only actual reason we implemented the quiet_* functions was to be able to neatly right-align the command name and left-align the arguments. Let's give up on that, and just left-align everything, simplifying the Makefiles considerably. Now, the only instances of a captialized command name in the output is if there's some actually shortening of the command itself. |

Notmuch - thread-based email index, search and tagging.
Notmuch is a system for indexing, searching, reading, and tagging
large collections of email messages in maildir or mh format. It uses
the Xapian library to provide fast, full-text search with a convenient
search syntax.
Notmuch is free software, released under the GNU General Public
License version 3 (or later).
Building notmuch

Interface options
-----------------
Notmuch includes a "notmuch" command-line interface to the system.
This is not a very convenient interface and it is not expected that
users will find it satisfying. Instead, there are two option for
obtaining a more sophisticated interface:
1. Build on top of the "notmuch" command-line interface.
This might be a reasonable option for a very text-oriented
client environment. For example, an emacs-based interface for
notmuch is already under development and is available in the
notmuch.el file in this distribution.
If someone were to write a curses-based interface, or similar,
it might also be reasonable to build on the "notmuch"
command-line interface.
2. Build on top of the notmuch library interface.
This is a better choice for developing an interface that has
full control of the presentation of email threads and
messages. It is expected that anyone integrating Notmuch into
an existing, graphical email program use the notmuch library
interface.
The public interface to the notmuch library is contained in
the notmuch.h header file. The "notmuch" command-line program
in notmuch.c can be used as good example code, since it is a
simple program that is written on top of the library
interface.
As can be seen, alternate interfaces to the Notmuch mail system are
still in development. We would appreciate any contributions to these
efforts.
