NOTMUCH-COUNT(1)                    notmuch                   NOTMUCH-COUNT(1)


NAME

       notmuch-count - count messages matching the given search terms


SYNOPSIS

       notmuch count [option ...] <search-term> ...


DESCRIPTION

       Count messages matching the search terms.

       The number of matching messages (or threads) is output to stdout.

       With no search terms, a count of all messages (or threads) in the
       database will be displayed.

       See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of the supported syntax for
       <search-terms>.

       Supported options for count include
          --output=(messages|threads|files)

             messages
                    Output the number of matching messages. This is the
                    default.

             threads
                    Output the number of matching threads.

             files  Output the number of files associated with matching
                    messages. This may be bigger than the number of matching
                    messages due to duplicates (i.e. multiple files having the
                    same message-id).

          --exclude=(true|false)
                 Specify whether to omit messages matching search.tag_exclude
                 from the count (the default) or not.

          --batch
                 Read queries from a file (stdin by default), one per line,
                 and output the number of matching messages (or threads) to
                 stdout, one per line. On an empty input line the count of all
                 messages (or threads) in the database will be output. This
                 option is not compatible with specifying search terms on the
                 command line.

          --input=<filename>
                 Read input from given file, instead of from stdin. Implies
                 --batch.
