Supported options for **count** include
-``--output=(messages|threads|files)``
- **messages**
- Output the number of matching messages. This is the default.
-
- **threads**
- Output the number of matching threads.
-
- **files**
- Output the number of files associated with matching
- messages. This may be bigger than the number of matching
- messages due to duplicates (i.e. multiple files having the
- same message-id).
-
-``--exclude=(true|false)``
- Specify whether to omit messages matching search.exclude\_tags from
- the count (the default) or not.
-
-``--batch``
- Read queries from a file (stdin by default), one per line, and
- output the number of matching messages (or threads) to stdout, one
- per line. On an empty input line the count of all messages (or
- threads) in the database will be output. This option is not
- compatible with specifying search terms on the command line.
-
-``--lastmod``
- Append lastmod (counter for number of database updates) and UUID
- to the output. lastmod values are only comparable between
- databases with the same UUID.
-
-``--input=``\ <filename>
- Read input from given file, instead of from stdin. Implies
- ``--batch``.
