A tag is defined by the following combination: TagName [Group]:'value'. The defined tags are selected to be set and writen to the EXIF tree using the command line option ‘--tag’ and/or configuration file options ‘Tag’.

The syntax of the command line option ‘--tag’ is:

 
--tag *TagName [Group]: 'value'*
