<userinput>aws s3api get-object-tagging \
    --bucket <replaceable>my-bucket</replaceable> \
    --key <replaceable>doc1.rtf</replaceable></userinput>

Output:

{
    "TagSet": [
        {
            "Value": "confidential",

        }
    ]
}

{
    "TagSet": []
}

<userinput>aws s3api get-object-tagging \
    --bucket <replaceable>my-bucket</replaceable> \
    --key <replaceable>doc3.rtf</replaceable></userinput>

{
    "TagSet": [
        {
            "Value": "confidential",
            "Key": "designation"
        },
        {
            "Value": "finance",
