tmsu:tldr:40975

tmsu: List files with tags matching boolean expression.
$ tmsu files "${(year >= 1990 and year <= 2000)} and ${grunge}"
try on your machine

This command is using the TMSU (Tagging Made Simple Utility) tool to search for files based on specific criteria.

The command is structured as follows:

tmsu files "${(year >= 1990 and year <= 2000)} and ${grunge}"

  • tmsu files: This part of the command instructs TMSU to search for files.
  • "${(year >= 1990 and year <= 2000)} and ${grunge}": This is the search query or criteria.

Explaining the search query:

  • "${(year >= 1990 and year <= 2000)}": This part specifies the criteria for the 'year' tag, stating that the value of the 'year' tag must be greater than or equal to 1990 and less than or equal to 2000. So, it will search for files with the 'year' tag falling between 1990 and 2000.
  • ${grunge}: This specifies an additional criteria that the files should also have the 'grunge' tag assigned to them. So, it will search for files that have both the 'year' tag falling between 1990 and 2000 and the 'grunge' tag.

In summary, this command is searching for files using TMSU that have the 'year' tag between 1990 and 2000 and also have the 'grunge' tag.
