NAME
muremove - remove messages from the database.
SYNOPSIS
mu [common-options] remove [options] <file> [<files>]
DESCRIPTION
mu remove removes specific messages from the database, each of them specified by their filename. The files do not have to exist in the file system.
REMOVE OPTIONS
--muhome use a non-default directory to store and read the database, write the logs, etc. By default, mu uses the XDG Base Directory Specification (e.g. on GNU/Linux this defaults to ~/.cache/mu and ~/.config/mu). Earlier versions of mu defaulted to ~/.mu, which now requires --muhome=~/.mu. The environment variable MUHOME can be used as an alternative to --muhome. The latter has precedence.
COMMON OPTIONS
-d, --debug makes mu generate extra debug information, useful for debugging the program itself. By default, debug information goes to the log file, ~/.cache/mu/mu.log. It can safely be deleted when mu is not running. When running with --debug option, the log file can grow rather quickly. See the note on logging below. -q, --quiet causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still be sent to standard error. Note that mu index is much faster with --quiet, so it is recommended you use this option when using mu from scripts etc. --log-stderr causes mu to not output log messages to standard error, in addition to sending them to the log file. --nocolor do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable NOCOLOR can be used as an alternative to --nocolor. -V, --version prints mu version and copyright information. -h, --help lists the various command line options.
