NOTMUCH-TAG(1)                               notmuch                               NOTMUCH-TAG(1)



NAME
       notmuch-tag - add/remove tags for all messages matching the search terms

SYNOPSIS
       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 <search-term>.

       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 pro‐
       vided 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.synchro‐
       nize_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 input must consist of lines of the format:

       +<tag>|-<tag> [...] [--] <query>

       Each line is interpreted similarly to notmuch tag command line arguments. 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 char‐
       acters 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 examples).

       Leading and trailing space ' ' is ignored. Empty lines and lines beginning  with  '#'  are
       ignored.

   EXAMPLE
       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)"""
