<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre>
- <b>notmuch</b> <b>restore</b> [<b>--accumulate</b>] [<b>--format=(auto|batch-tag|sup)</b>] [
- --input=<<u>filename</u>> ]
+ <b>notmuch</b> <b>restore</b> [--accumulate] [--format=(auto|batch-tag|sup)]
+ [--input=<<u>filename</u>>]
</pre>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
Supported options for <b>restore</b> include
- <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>sup</b> The <b>sup</b> 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

+ <b>notmuch</b> <b>restore</b> updates the maildir flags according to
+ tag changes if the <b>maildir.synchronize</b>_<b>flags</b> configu‐
+ ration option is enabled. See <a href='../notmuch-config-1/'>notmuch-config</a>(1) for
+ details.
+
+ <b>auto</b> This option (the default) tries to guess the format
+ from the input. For correctly formed input in either
+ supported format, this heuristic, based the fact that
+ batch-tag format contains no parentheses, should be
+ accurate.
+
+ <b>--input=<filename></b>
+ Read input from given file instead of stdin.

- <b>notmuch</b> <b>restore</b> updates the maildir flags according to tag
- changes if the <b>maildir.synchronize</b>_<b>flags</b> configuration
- option is enabled. See <a href='../notmuch-config-1/'>notmuch-config</a>(1) for details.
+<h2>GZIPPED INPUT</h2>
+<pre>
+ <b>notmuch</b> <b>restore</b> will detect if the input is compressed in <b>gzip</b>(1) for‐
+ mat and automatically decompress it while reading. This detection does
+ not depend on file naming and in particular works for standard input.
