DESCRIPTION

14       mu help provides help information about mu commands.
15
16

COMMON OPTIONS

18   -d, --debug
19       makes  mu  generate  extra  debug information, useful for debugging the
20       program itself. By default, debug information goes  to  the  log  file,
21       ~/.cache/mu/mu.log.   It  can safely be deleted when mu is not running.
22       When running with --debug option, the log file can grow rather quickly.
23       See the note on logging below.
24
25
26   -q, --quiet
27       causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information
28       to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still
29       be  sent  to  standard  error.  Note  that mu index is much faster with
30       --quiet, so it is recommended you use this option when  using  mu  from
31       scripts etc.
32
33
34   --log-stderr
35       causes  mu to not output log messages to standard error, in addition to
36       sending them to the log file.
37
38
39   --nocolor
40       do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable NO_COLOR can  be  used
41       as an alternative to --nocolor.
42
43
44   -V, --version
45       prints mu version and copyright information.
46
47
48   -h, --help
