NAME

       knife-tag - The man page for the knife tag subcommand.

       A  tag  is  a  custom  description  that is applied to a node. A tag, once applied, can be
       helpful when managing nodes using Knife or when building recipes  by  providing  alternate
       methods of grouping similar types of information.

       The knife tag subcommand is used to apply tags to nodes on a server.

       This subcommand has the following syntax:

       $ knife tag [ARGUMENT]
