ftag is a command line tool to tag files. Strings are associated to
file names in a database file called .ftag.sqlite3. Files can later
be searched for by tag names. Unix-like systems are supported (eg. OS
X and Linux).
Run make in the sources directory. The only dependency is on
SQLite 3 (http://www.sqlite.org/).
Below is a short description of the three modes available and their use. A more complete reference can be found using the --help option.
ftag file FILE TAG...: Add any number of tags to the file FILE.ftag filter TAG...: Print all files tagged with one or more of the given tags to stdout.ftag list FILE: Print all tags associated with the file FILE on stdout.
Important to note is the location of the database file
(.ftag.sqlite3). When the application is run it will search for
this file starting from the current directory ascending towards the
root directory. If no database file is found it is created in the
current directory. Which database file to use can also be specified
with the -d, --database-name and -p, --database-dir options.
