Tag

In ByteNite, a tag is a string used to identify a record by version. The tag format includes a required record name and an optional version in the format: [name]@[major].[minor] . The minor version is optional. Tag behavior follows these principles:

  • [name]@[major].[minor]

    Retrieves the record matching the exact name, major version, and minor version.

  • [name]@[major]

    Retrieves the record matching the exact name and major version, with the highest minor version.

  • [name]

    Retrieves the record by name with the highest major and minor versions.
