@ -79,6 +79,17 @@ The *index*, *find*, and *cfind* commands work with the database, while the othe
ones work on individual mail files. Hence, running *view*, *mkdir* and *extract* does
not require the *mu* database.
* LOGGING
*mu* logs to the standard logging location, which is either the systemd journal,
*syslog* or a log file (by default, _~/.cache/mu/mu.log_), depending on your
*system's setup; the first that appears to be working is used.
When using a log file, 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.
