• bank

• status

• info

Details

When the optional tag argument is used, only databases tagged with the given string are listed; when this argument is NA (by default), only untagged databases are listed. The tag argument thus allows to identify series of special purpose (tagged) databases, in addition to default (untagged) ones.
