NAME

6       wvtag - metadata utility for wavpack files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wvtag [-options] INFILE...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       wvtag applies the specified metadata operation(s) to each of the
13       specified WavPack source file(s) in this order: clean, import, delete,
14       write, extract, list. Note that WavPack metadata is stored in APEv2
15       tags, and this tool will automatically import from an ID3v1 tag if it
16       is the only tag present on the source file, and that ID3v1 tag will be
17       deleted and replaced with an APEv2 tag if an edit is requested.
