OPTIONS

+
+       Supported global options for notmuch include
+
+          --help [command-name]
+                 Print a synopsis of available commands  and  exit.   With  an
+                 optional command name, show the man page for that subcommand.
+
+          --version
+                 Print the installed version of notmuch, and exit.
+
+          --config=FILE
+                 Specify  the  configuration  file  to use. This overrides any
+                 configuration file specified by ${NOTMUCH_CONFIG}.
+
+          --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 com‐
+       mand.  For example, notmuch subcommand --uuid=HEX is equivalent to not-
+       much --uuid=HEX subcommand.
