+ <para><function>udev_device_has_tag()</function> returns a valuer larger than zero if the specified
+ device object has the indicated tag assigned to it, and zero otherwise. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details on
+ the tags concept. <function>udev_device_has_current_tag()</function> executes a similar check, however
+ only determines whether the indicated tag was set as result of the most recent event seen for the
+ device. Tags are "sticky", i.e. once set for a device they remain on the device until the device is
+ unplugged, even if the rules run for later events of the same device do not set them anymore. Any tag for
+ which <function>udev_device_has_current_tag()</function> returns true will hence also return true when
+ passed to <function>udev_device_has_tag()</function>, but the opposite might not be true, in case a tag is
+ no longer configured by the rules applied to the most recent device even.</para>
+
+ <para><function>udev_device_get_tags_list_entry()</function> returns a a
+ <function>udev_list_entry</function> object, encapsulating a list of tags set for the specified
+ device. Similar, <function>udev_device_get_current_tags_list_entry()</function> returns a list of tags
+ set for the specified device as effect of the most recent device event seen (see above for details on the
