NAME
sndfile-metadata-get, sndfile-metadata-set -- get or set metadata in a
sound file
SYNOPSIS
sndfile-metadata-get [options] file
sndfile-metadata-set [options] file
sndfile-metadata-set [options] input output
DESCRIPTION
sndfile-metadata-get displays bext and string metadata stored in an audio
file. The following options specify what to print.
--all all metadata
--bext-description description
--bext-originator originator info
--bext-orig-ref originator reference
--bext-umid Unique Material Identifier
--bext-orig-date origination date
--bext-orig-time origination time
--bext-coding-hist coding history
--str-title title
--str-copyright copyright
--str-artist artist
--str-comment comment
--str-date creation date
--str-album album
--str-license license
sndfile-metadata-set sets bext and string metadata in an audio file if
the format supports it. If the file does not contain a BEXT chunk to be
modified, the second synopsis must be used, where another output file
capable of storing the metadata is created. This file is overwritten if
it already exists. The following options take an argument specifying the
metadata:
--bext-description description
--bext-originator originator
--bext-orig-ref originator reference
--bext-umid Unique Material Identifier
--bext-orig-date origination date
--bext-orig-time origination time
--bext-coding-hist coding history
--bext-time-raf time reference
--str-comment comment
--str-title title
--str-copyright copyright
--str-artist artist
--str-date date
--str-album album
--str-license license
The following options take no argument:
--bext-auto-time-date Set the BEXT time and date to current.
--bext-auto-time Set the BEXT time to current.
--bext-auto-date Set the BEXT date to current.
--str-auto-date Set the string date to current.
EXIT STATUS
The sndfile-metadata-get utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
occurs.
