Depends on the platform.

Not all platform are standards-compliant. MinGW, for instance, 
nominally links to MSVCRT, and thus have many compliance issues. 
So, in order to be broadly multi-platform, I think not all tags 
can be used.

But if you want to maximize what you can do with the platform you 
are on, just check the man pages for the full set of tags.
