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.
