💖 SUP-IMPORT-DUMP(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for sup-import-dump, a lil tool from the Sup mail indexer crew. it's giving "restore my vibes" energy. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

sup-import-dump — import message state dump to Sup index 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sup-import-dump [options] dumpfile

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically, this little icon takes message state that was previously exported by sup-dump and imports it right back into the index. no cap 💅

important tea: sup-import-dump operates on the index ONLY. that means the messages must have already been added using sup-sync. like, it will not do that part for you, bestie.

if you need to recreate the index from scratch, you don't want this one — go see sup-sync --restore instead. different tool, different vibe ✨

and here's the chill part: messages that are not mentioned in the dump file will not be modified. untouched. left alone. main character behavior, honestly 💜

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -v, --verbose — prints message ids as they're processed. so you can watch the whole thing happen in real time, like a livestream but for your index 🎀
  • -i, --ignore-missing — silently skips over messages that are not in the index. no drama, no commentary, just moving on 🙈
  • -w, --warn-missing — warns you about messages that are not in the index, but keeps going anyway. it's giving "noted, moving on" 🦋
  • -a, --abort-missing — aborts on encountering messages that are not in the index. this one is the default, so if you don't pick anything, this is what you get. strict queen energy 👑
  • -t, --atomic — uses a transaction to apply all changes atomically. all or nothing, no half-finished situationships 🔥
  • -n, --dry-run — doesn't actually modify the index. probably only useful with --verbose. it's a rehearsal, not the performance 💅
  • --version — shows version information ⭐
  • -h, --help — shows the help message 🌈
