- <b>--accumulate</b>
-
- The union of the existing and new tags is applied, instead of
- replacing each message's tags as they are read in from the dump
- file.
-
- <b>--format=(sup|batch-tag|auto)</b>
-
- Notmuch restore supports two plain text dump formats, with each
- line specifying a message-id and a set of tags. For details of
- the actual formats, see <a href='../notmuch-dump-1/'>notmuch-dump</a>(1).
-
- <b>sup</b> The <b>sup</b> dump file format is specifically chosen to be com-
- patible with the format of files produced by sup-dump. So
- if you've previously been using sup for mail, then the <b>not-</b>
- <b>much</b> <b>restore</b> command provides you a way to import all of
- your tags (or labels as sup calls them).
-
- <b>batch-tag</b>
-
- The <b>batch-tag</b> dump format is intended to more robust
- against malformed message-ids and tags containing whites-
- pace or non-<b>ascii</b>(7) characters. See <a href='../notmuch-dump-1/'>notmuch-dump</a>(1) for
- details on this format.

+ <b>auto</b> This option (the default) tries to guess the format

+ batch-tag format contains no parentheses, should be
+ accurate.
+
+ <b>--include=(config|tags)</b>
+ Control what kind of metadata is restored.
+ <b>config</b>
+ Restore configuration data to the database. Each configu‐
+ ration line starts with "#@ ", followed by a space seper‐
+ ated key-value pair. Both key and value are hex encoded
+ if needed.
+
+ <b>tags</b>
+ Output per-message metadata, namely tags. See <u>format</u>
+ above for more details.
+
+ The default is to restore both tags and configuration informa‐
+ tion
+
+ <b>--input=<filename></b>
+ Read input from given file instead of stdin.
