SYNOPSIS

10       mu [common options] info

DESCRIPTION

14       mu  info  is  the mu command for getting information about the mu data‐
15       base. Note that while running (e.g. mu4e), some of the information  may
16       be slightly delayed due to database caching.

COMMON OPTIONS

20   -d, --debug
21       makes  mu  generate  extra  debug information, useful for debugging the
22       program itself. By default, debug information goes  to  the  log  file,
23       ~/.cache/mu/mu.log.   It  can safely be deleted when mu is not running.
24       When running with --debug option, the log file can grow rather quickly.
25       See the note on logging below.
26
27
28   -q, --quiet
29       causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information
30       to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still
31       be  sent  to  standard  error.  Note  that mu index is much faster with
32       --quiet, so it is recommended you use this option when  using  mu  from
33       scripts etc.
34
35
36   --log-stderr
37       causes  mu to not output log messages to standard error, in addition to
38       sending them to the log file.
39
40
41   --nocolor
42       do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable NO_COLOR can  be  used
43       as an alternative to --nocolor.
44
45
46   -V, --version
47       prints mu version and copyright information.
48
49
50   -h, --help
51       lists the various command line options.
