NOTMUCH-DUMP(1)

NAME

       notmuch-dump - creates a plain-text dump of the tags of each message

SYNOPSIS

       notmuch dump [ --output=<filename> ] [--] [ <search-term>...]

DESCRIPTION

       Dump tags for messages matching the given search terms.

       Output is to the given filename, if any, or to stdout.

       These  tags  are  the  only  data in the notmuch database that can't be
       recreated from the messages themselves.  The output of notmuch dump  is
       therefore  the only critical thing to backup (and much more friendly to
       incremental backup than the native database files.)

       With no search terms, a dump of all messages in the  database  will  be
       generated.   A "--" argument instructs notmuch that the remaining argu-
       ments are search terms.

       See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of  the  supported  syntax  for
       <search-terms>.
