Here is what i see in the notmuch(3) man page:

        config_path Path to config file.

           Config file is key-value, with mandatory sections. See notmuch-config(5) for more
           information. The key-value pair overrides the corresponding configuration data stored in the
           database (see notmuch_database_get_config)

           If config_path is NULL use the path specified

           • in environment variable NOTMUCH_CONFIG, if non-empty

           • by XDG_CONFIG_HOME/notmuch/ where XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to '$HOME/.config'.

           • by $HOME/.notmuch-config

           If config_path is '' (empty string) then do not open any configuration file.
           profile Name of profile (configuration/database variant).

           If non-NULL, append to the directory / file path determined for config_path and
           database_path.

           If NULL then use

           • environment variable NOTMUCH_PROFILE if defined,

           • otherwise 'default' for directories and '' (empty string) for paths.

I'm not claiming the documentation is perfect, but it seems to be
documented? Is there maybe some version skew between your man pages and
library?
