This part can be a little confusing as the man page has two overlapping methods.

• Big -P

This is the more complex method - you can choose with fine granularity

$ exiv2 -PEgk example.jpg

This would provide E Exif tags with g group-name and k key

More details in man page

• little -p

This is more simplified - provides simpler interface - find all tags with -pa (a = all)

$ $ exiv2 -pa example.jpg

This would provide all three types of tags - it implies -PEIXkyct
