zx search Tag
Search for packages that have the tag entered above. For example, a UUID generator program is likely to have the tag "uuid" listed in its tags, a JSON encoder/decoder will probably have "json" in its tags, and so on, so they can be found this way without much fuss.
ceverett@okonomiyaki:~$ zx search uuid otpr-zuuid-2.0.0 ceverett@okonomiyaki:~$ zx search json otpr-zj-1.0.5
Because the output is a list of valid package IDs the output can be used in pipes:
ceverett@okonomiyaki:~$ zx describe $(zx search json | tail -n1) Package : otpr-zj-1.0.5 Name : zj Type : lib Desc : A tiny JSON encoder/decoder in pure Erlang.
