Also, tag age is an important attribute, as are tag owner (and owner group) and tag permissions.

Well, it demands research and testing... Assuming it's called "tls" for "tag ls," here are some ideas for options (ARGV is not being discussed here, although I do think the * and ** patterns, plus the usual shell globbing, should be available): tls -min 2 # list tags with frequency 2 or higher tls -n # print "frequency age owner owner-group permissions tag" for each tag, suitable for piping and sorting tls -f # print sorted by frequency tls -t # print sorted by tag age tls -R # print tags recursively tls -o tzz # print tags owned by tzz Ted
