.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
On Linux file systems that support extended attributes, the XDG desktop uses the
|
|
attribute `user.xdg.tags' to store a comma-separated list of user-defined tags.
|
|
File browsers such as Dolphin on KDE have user interface to manipulate them.
|
|
Unfortunately, it is inconvenient if one wishes to change tags for many files or
|
|
directories at once.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
tool allows you to list and/or edit tags in bulk, with a convenient command line
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you add, change, and delete tags from files and/or directories in a single
|
|
command,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will first delete tags, then apply changes, and finally add tags, in that order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Ss General Options
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl h, \-help

reports tags before and after applying any changes.

.El
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses libscterm for its color output support, and as such honors the NO_COLOR
|
|
environment variable, if defined and non-empty.
|
|
Color output is also automatically suppressed when it is not written to a tty,
|
|
such as when writing to a pipe, or when using output redirection.
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits 0 on success, and 1 if an error occurs.
|
|
