NOTMUCH-TAG(1)

NAME

- 
-       notmuch-tag  -  Add/remove  tags  for  all messages matching the search
-       terms.
+       notmuch-tag  -  add/remove  tags  for  all messages matching the search
+       terms

SYNOPSIS

- 
-       notmuch tag +<tag>|-<tag> [...] [--] <search-term>...
+       notmuch tag [options...] +<tag>|-<tag> [...] [--] <search-term> [...]
+
+       notmuch tag --batch [ --input=<filename> ]

DESCRIPTION

- 
        Add/remove tags for all messages matching the search terms.
-
-
-       See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of  the  supported  syntax  for
-       .
-
+ See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of the supported syntax for + <search-term>. -
-       Tags prefixed by '+' are added while those prefixed by '-' are removed.
-       For each message, tag removal is performed before tag addition.
+       Tags prefixed by '+' are added while those prefixed by '-' are removed.
+       For each message, tag changes are applied in the order they  appear  on
+       the command line.
+
+       The  beginning  of the search terms is recognized by the first argument
+       that begins with neither '+' nor '-'. Support  for  an  initial  search
+       term  beginning  with  '+'  or  '-' is provided by allowing the user to
+       specify a "--" argument to separate the tags from the search terms.
+
+       notmuch tag updates the maildir flags according to tag changes  if  the
+       maildir.synchronize_flags configuration option is enabled. See notmuch-
+       config(1) for details.
+
+       Supported options for tag include
+
+           --remove-all
+
+               Remove all tags from each message  matching  the  search  terms
+               before  applying the tag changes appearing on the command line.
+               This means setting the tags of each message to the tags  to  be
+               added. If there are no tags to be added, the messages will have
+               no tags.
+
+           --batch
+
+               Read batch tagging operations from a file (stdin  by  default).
+               This  is  more efficient than repeated notmuch tag invocations.
+               See TAG FILE FORMAT below for the input format. This option  is
+               not compatible with specifying tagging on the command line.
+
+           --input=<filename>
+
+               Read  input  from  given  file,  instead of from stdin. Implies
+               --batch.
+

TAG FILE FORMAT

-       The beginning of  is recognized  by  the  first  argument
-       that  begins  with  neither  '+' nor '-'. Support for an initial search
-       term beginning with '+' or '-' is provided  by  allowing  the  user  to
-       specify a "--" argument to separate the tags from the search terms.
+       The input must consist of lines of the format:
+
+       +<tag>|-<tag> [...] [--] <query>
+
+       Each line is interpreted similarly to notmuch tag  command  line  argu-
+       ments. The delimiter is one or more spaces ' '. Any characters in <tag>
+       may be hex-encoded with %NN where NN is the hexadecimal  value  of  the
+       character.  To hex-encode a character with a multi-byte UTF-8 encoding,
+       hex-encode each byte.  Any spaces in <tag> must be hex-encoded as  %20.
+       Any characters that are not part of <tag> must not be hex-encoded.
+
+       In  the future tag:"tag with spaces" style quoting may be supported for
+       <tag> as well; for this reason all double  quote  characters  in  <tag>
+       should be hex-encoded.
+
+       The  <query>  should be quoted using Xapian boolean term quoting rules:
+       if a term contains whitespace or a close paren or starts with a  double
+       quote,  it must be enclosed in double quotes (not including any prefix)
+       and double quotes inside the term must be doubled (see below for  exam-
+       ples).
+
+       Leading and trailing space ' ' is ignored. Empty lines and lines begin-
+       ning with '#' are ignored.
+

  EXAMPLE

-       notmuch  tag  updates the maildir flags according to tag changes if the
-       maildir.synchronize_flags configuration option is enabled. See notmuch-
-       config(1) for details.
+       The following shows a valid input to batch tagging. Note that only  the
+       isolated  '*'  acts as a wildcard. Also note the two different quotings
+       of the tag space in tags
+              +winner *
+              +foo::bar%25 -- (One and Two) or (One and tag:winner)
+              +found::it -- tag:foo::bar%
+              # ignore this line and the next
+
+              +space%20in%20tags -- Two
+              # add tag '(tags)', among other stunts.
+              +crazy{ +(tags) +&are +#possible -- tag:"space in tags"
+              +match*crazy -- tag:crazy{
+              +some_tag -- id:"this is ""nauty)"""
