Get all file system tags

Question

Since OSX Mavericks supports file tags. Is there an API for accessing the software? How can I get a list of all system tags? And manipulate them?

I already tried:

but none of them mention the existence of tags.

You can find all the system tags in this way: ~/Library/SyncedPreferences/com.apple.finder.plist

But by default, the plist file does not exist. You can do this by adding a new tag. By the way, do you find another way to get all the system tags?
