-``--gzip``
- Compress the output in a format compatible with **gzip(1)**.
-
-``--format=(sup|batch-tag)``
- Notmuch restore supports two plain text dump formats, both with one
- message-id per line, followed by a list of tags.
-
- **batch-tag**
- The default **batch-tag** dump format is intended to more robust
- against malformed message-ids and tags containing whitespace or
- non-\ **ascii(7)** characters. Each line has the form
-
- +<*encoded-tag*\ > +<*encoded-tag*\ > ... --
- id:<*quoted-message-id*\ >
-
- Tags are hex-encoded by replacing every byte not matching the
- regex **[A-Za-z0-9@=.,\_+-]** with **%nn** where nn is the two
- digit hex encoding. The message ID is a valid Xapian query,
- quoted using Xapian boolean term quoting rules: if the ID
- contains whitespace or a close paren or starts with a double
- quote, it must be enclosed in double quotes and double quotes
- inside the ID must be doubled. The astute reader will notice
- this is a special case of the batch input format for
- **notmuch-tag(1)**; note that the single message-id query is
- mandatory for **notmuch-restore(1)**.
-
- **sup**
- The **sup** dump file format is specifically chosen to be
- compatible with the format of files produced by sup-dump. So if
- you've previously been using sup for mail, then the **notmuch
- restore** command provides you a way to import all of your tags
- (or labels as sup calls them). Each line has the following form
-
- <*message-id*\ > **(** <*tag*\ > ... **)**
-
- with zero or more tags are separated by spaces. Note that
- (malformed) message-ids may contain arbitrary non-null
- characters. Note also that tags with spaces will not be
- correctly restored with this format.
-
- With no search terms, a dump of all messages in the database will be
- generated. A "--" argument instructs notmuch that the remaining
- arguments are search terms.
-
- See **notmuch-search-terms(7)** for details of the supported syntax
- for <search-terms>.
+See :any:`notmuch-search-terms(7)` for details of the supported syntax

+Supported options for **dump** include

+ Notmuch restore supports two plain text dump formats, both with
+ one message-id per line, followed by a list of tags.
+
+ **batch-tag**
+ The default **batch-tag** dump format is intended to more
+ robust against malformed message-ids and tags containing
+ whitespace or non-\ :manpage:`ascii(7)` characters. Each line
+ has the form::
+
+ +<*encoded-tag*\ > +<*encoded-tag*\ > ... -- id:<*quoted-message-id*\ >
+

+ mandatory for :any:`notmuch-restore(1)`.
+
+ **sup**
+ The **sup** dump file format is specifically chosen to be
+ compatible with the format of files produced by
+ :manpage:`sup-dump(1)`. So if you've previously been using sup
+ for mail, then the :any:`notmuch-restore(1)` command provides

+
+ <*message-id*\ > **(** <*tag*\ > ... **)**
+
+ with zero or more tags are separated by spaces. Note that
+ (malformed) message-ids may contain arbitrary non-null
+ characters. Note also that tags with spaces will not be
+ correctly restored with this format.
+
+.. option:: --include=(config|properties|tags)
+
+ Control what kind of metadata is included in the output.
+
+ **config**
+ Output configuration data stored in the database. Each line
+ starts with "#@ ", followed by a space separated key-value
+ pair. Both key and value are hex encoded if needed.
+
+ **properties**
+ Output per-message (key,value) metadata. Each line starts
+ with "#= ", followed by a message id, and a space separated
+ list of key=value pairs. Ids, keys and values are hex encoded
+ if needed. See :any:`notmuch-properties(7)` for more details.
+
+ **tags**
+ Output per-message boolean metadata, namely tags. See *format* above
+ for description of the output.
+
+ The default is to include all available types of data. The option
+ can be specified multiple times to select some subset. As of
+ version 3 of the dump format, there is a header line of the
+ following form::
+
+ #notmuch-dump <*format*>:<*version*> <*included*>
+
+ where <*included*> is a comma separated list of the above options.
+
+.. option:: --output=<filename>
+
+ Write output to given file instead of stdout.
