tracker-tag(1)

NAME
tracker-tag - Add, remove and list tags.

SYNOPSIS
tracker-tag [OPTION...] FILE [FILE...]
tracker-tag [OPTION...] -t [[TAG] [TAG] ...]

DESCRIPTION
tracker-tag allows the caller add tags, remove tags and list tags by URN or to list all tags and the files associated with them. The FILE argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also does not have to be an absolute path.

OPTIONS

-?, --help
    Show summary of options.

-l, --limit=N
    Limit search to N results. The default is 512.

-o, --offset=N
    Offset the search results by N. For example, start at item number 10 in the results. The default is 0.

-r, --or-operator
    Use OR for search terms instead of AND (the default)

-t, --list
    List all tags. Results include the number of files associated with that tag and the tag's unique identifier. You can show the files associated with each tag by using --show-files. The TAG arguments are optional. If no TAG argument is specified, all tags are listed. If one or more TAGs are given, all matching tags are listed. For example, this will match any tags named either foo, bar or baz:
    $ tracker-tag -t foo bar baz

-s, --show-files
    Show the files associated with each tag. This option is ONLY available WITH the --list option.

-a, --add=TAG
    Add a tag with the name TAG. If no FILE arguments are specified, the tag is simply created (if it didn'talready exist) and no files are associated with it. Multiple FILE arguments can be specified.

-d, --delete=TAG
    Delete a tag with the name TAG. If no FILE arguments are specified, the tag is deleted for ALL files. If FILE arguments are specified, only those files have the TAG deleted.

-e, --description=STRING
    This option ONLY applies when using --add and provides a description to go with the tag label according to STRING.

-V, --version
    Print version.

ENVIRONMENT

TRACKER_SPARQL_BACKEND
    This option allows you to choose which backend you use for connecting to the database. This choice can limit your functionality. There are three settings. With "direct" the connection to the database is made directly to the file itself on the disk, there is no intermediary daemon or process. The "direct" approach is purely read-only. With "bus" the tracker-store process is used to liase with the database queuing all requests and managing the connections via an IPC / D-Bus. This adds a small overhead BUT this is the only approach you can use if you want to write to the database. With "auto" the backend is decided for you, much like it would be if this environment variable was undefined.

TRACKER_PRAGMAS_FILE
    Tracker has a fixed set of PRAGMA settings for creating its SQLite connection. With this environment variable pointing to a text file you can override these settings. The file is a \n separated list of SQLite queries to execute on any newly created SQLite connection in tracker-store.
