8 **notmuch** **address** [*option* ...] <*search-term*> ...
13 Search for messages matching the given search terms, and display the
14 addresses from them. Duplicate addresses are filtered out.
16 See **notmuch-search-terms(7)** for details of the supported syntax for
19 Supported options for **address** include
21 ``--format=``\ (**json**\ \|\ **sexp**\ \|\ **text**\ \|\ **text0**)
22 Presents the results in either JSON, S-Expressions, newline
23 character separated plain-text (default), or null character
24 separated plain-text (compatible with **xargs(1)** -0 option
27 ``--format-version=N``
28 Use the specified structured output format version. This is
29 intended for programs that invoke **notmuch(1)** internally. If
30 omitted, the latest supported version will be used.
32 ``--output=(sender|recipients|count|address)``
34 Controls which information appears in the output. This option
35 can be given multiple times to combine different outputs.
36 When neither --output=sender nor --output=recipients is
37 given, --output=sender is implied.
40 Output all addresses from the *From* header.
42 Note: Searching for **sender** should be much faster than
43 searching for **recipients**, because sender addresses are
44 cached directly in the database whereas other addresses
45 need to be fetched from message files.
48 Output all addresses from the *To*, *Cc* and *Bcc*
52 Print the count of how many times was the address
53 encountered during search.
55 Note: With this option, addresses are printed only after
56 the whole search is finished. This may take long time.
59 Output only the email addresses instead of the full
60 mailboxes with names and email addresses. This option has
61 no effect on the JSON or S-Expression output formats.
63 ``--deduplicate=(no|mailbox|address)``
65 Control the deduplication of results.
68 Output all occurrences of addresses in the matching
69 messages. This is not applicable with --output=count.
72 Deduplicate addresses based on the full, case sensitive
73 name and email address, or mailbox. This is effectively
74 the same as piping the --deduplicate=no output to **sort |
75 uniq**, except for the order of results. This is the
79 Deduplicate addresses based on the case insensitive
80 address part of the mailbox. Of all the variants (with
81 different name or case), print the one occurring most
82 frequently among the matching messages. If --output=count
83 is specified, include all variants in the count.
85 ``--sort=``\ (**newest-first**\ \|\ **oldest-first**)
86 This option can be used to present results in either
87 chronological order (**oldest-first**) or reverse chronological
88 order (**newest-first**).
90 By default, results will be displayed in reverse chronological
91 order, (that is, the newest results will be displayed first).
93 However, if either --output=count or --deduplicate=address is
94 specified, this option is ignored and the order of the results
97 ``--exclude=(true|false)``
98 A message is called "excluded" if it matches at least one tag in
99 search.tag\_exclude that does not appear explicitly in the
100 search terms. This option specifies whether to omit excluded
101 messages in the search process.
103 The default value, **true**, prevents excluded messages from
104 matching the search terms.
106 **false** allows excluded messages to match search terms and
107 appear in displayed results.
112 This command supports the following special exit status codes
115 The requested format version is too old.
118 The requested format version is too new.
