SYNOPSIS

10       tracker tag FILE1 [FILE2 ...] [-l <limit>] [-o <offset>] [-r]
11       tracker tag -t [[TAG1] [TAG2] ...] [-s] [-r]
12       tracker tag -a <TAG> [-e <description>]
13       tracker tag -d <TAG>

DESCRIPTION

17       List  tags  for  local  files  or by the tag labels themselves if -t is
18       used.
19
20       It's also possible to manage tags with the -a and and -d options.
21
22       The FILE argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also does not
23       have to be an absolute path.

OPTIONS

27       -t, --list
28              List  all  tags.  Results include the number of files associated
29              with that tag and the tag's unique identifier. You can show  the
30              files associated with each tag by using --show-files.
31
32              The TAG arguments are optional. If no TAG argument is specified,
33              all tags are listed. If one  or  more  TAGs  are  given,  either
34              matching  tags are listed (OR condition). For example, this will
35              match any tags named either foo, bar or baz:
36
37              $ tracker-tag -t foo bar baz
38
39
40       -s, --show-files
41              Show the files associated with each tag.  This  option  is  ONLY
42              available WITH the --list option.
43
44       -a, --add=TAG
45              Add a tag with the name TAG. If no FILE arguments are specified,
46              the tag is simply created (if it  didn'talready  exist)  and  no
47              files  are  associated  with  it. Multiple FILE arguments can be
48              specified.
49
50       -d, --delete=TAG
51              Delete a tag with the name TAG. If no FILE arguments are  speci‐
52              fied,  the  tag  is deleted for ALL files. If FILE arguments are
53              specified, only those files have the TAG deleted.
54
55       -e, --description=STRING
56              This option  ONLY  applies  when  using  --add  and  provides  a
57              description to go with the tag label according to STRING.
58
59       -l, --limit=N
60              Limit search to N results. The default is 512.
61
62       -o, --offset=N
63              Offset  the search results by N. For example, start at item num‐
64              ber 10 in the results. The default is 0.
65
66       -r, --and-operator
67              Use AND operator for search terms instead of OR  (the  default).
68              For example:
69
70              $ tracker-tag -s -t sliff sloff
71
72              Should  show  files in the database that have both the sliff and
73              sloff tags.

ENVIRONMENT

77       TRACKER_SPARQL_BACKEND
78              This option allows you to choose which backend you use for  con‐
79              necting  to the database. This choice can limit your functional‐
80              ity. There are three settings.
81
82              With "direct" the connection to the database is made directly to
83              the  file itself on the disk, there is no intermediary daemon or
84              process. The "direct" approach is purely read-only.
85
86              With "bus" the tracker-store process is used to liase  with  the
87              database  queuing  all requests and managing the connections via
88              an IPC / D-Bus. This adds a small overhead BUT this is the  only
89              approach you can use if you want to write to the database.
90
91              With  "auto"  the backend is decided for you, much like it would
92              be if this environment variable was undefined.
