| | .TH NOTMUCH-TAG 1 2012-08-20 "Notmuch 0.14"
.SH NAME
notmuch-tag \- add/remove tags for all messages matching the search terms
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B notmuch tag
.RI "+<" tag ">|\-<" tag "> [...] [\-\-] <" search-terms ">"
.B notmuch tag
.RI "--batch"
.RI "[ --input=<" filename "> ]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
Add/remove tags for all messages matching the search terms.
See \fBnotmuch-search-terms\fR(7)
for details of the supported syntax for <search-terms>.
Tags prefixed by '+' are added while those prefixed by '\-' are
removed. For each message, tag removal is performed before tag
addition.
The beginning of <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.
.B "notmuch tag"
updates the maildir flags according to tag changes if the
.B "maildir.synchronize_flags"
configuration option is enabled. See \fBnotmuch-config\fR(1) for
details.
Supported options for
.B tag
include
.RS 4
.TP 4
.BR \-\-batch
Read batch tagging operations from standard input. This is more
efficient than repeated
.B notmuch tag
invocations. See
.B TAG FILE FORMAT
below for the input format. This option is not compatible with
specifying tagging on the command line.
.RE
.RS 4
.TP 4
.BR "\-\-input=" <filename>
Read input from given file, instead of from stdin. Implies
.BR --batch .
.SH TAG FILE FORMAT
The input must consist of lines of the format:
.RI "+<" tag ">|\-<" tag "> [...] [\-\-] <" search-term "> [...]"
Each line is interpreted similarly to
.B notmuch tag
command line arguments. The delimiter is one or more spaces ' '. Any
characters in <tag> and <search-term>
.B may
be hex encoded with %NN where NN is the hexadecimal value of the
character. Any ' ' and '%' characters in <tag> and <search-terms>
.B must
be hex encoded (using %20 and %25, respectively). Any characters that
are not part of <tag> or <search-terms>
.B must not
be hex encoded.
Leading and trailing space ' ' is ignored. Empty lines and lines
beginning with '#' are ignored.
