Get, set, and delete object tags

Tags are metadata stored in an object's attributes, used to store types and names needed to make AWS API requests.

tag_get returns the value of the given tag, or "" if the tag doesn't exist.

tag_has returns whether the object has the given tag.

tag_add returns the object after adding the given list of tags and values.

tag_del returns the object after recursively deleting tags in tags, or all tags if NULL.

type returns broadly what type an object is, based on its type tag.

Usage

tag_get(object, tag)

tag_get_all(object)

tag_has(object, tag)

tag_add(object, tags)

tag_del(object, tags = NULL)

type(object)
