+ ``--uuid=HEX``
+ Enforce that the database UUID (a unique identifier which
+ persists until e.g. the database is compacted)
+ is HEX; exit with an error if it is not. This is useful to
+ detect rollover in modification counts on messages. You can
+ find this UUID using e.g. ``notmuch count --lastmod``
+
+All global options except ``--config`` can also be specified after the
+command. For example, ``notmuch subcommand --uuid=HEX`` is
+equivalent to ``notmuch --uuid=HEX subcommand``.
