DESCRIPTION

13       Monitor, set and delete metadata on PipeWire objects.
14
15       Metadata  are key/type/value triplets attached to objects identified by
16       id. The metadata is shared between all applications binding to the same
17       metadata object. When an object is destroyed, all its metadata is auto‐
18       matically removed.
19
20       When no value is given, pw-metadata will query  and  log  the  metadata
21       matching  the optional arguments id and key. Without any arguments, all
22       metadata is displayed.
23
24       When value is given, pw-metadata will set the metadata for id  and  key
25       to value and an optional type.
