+                <para>Attach a tag to a device. This is used to filter events for users
+                of libudev's monitor functionality, or to enumerate a group of tagged
+                devices. The implementation can only work efficiently if only a few
+                tags are attached to a device. It is only meant to be used in
+                contexts with specific device filter requirements, and not as a
+                general-purpose flag. Excessive use might result in inefficient event
+                handling.</para>
