32 sndfile-metadata-set sets bext and string metadata in an audio file if
33 the format supports it. If the file does not contain a BEXT chunk to be

35 capable of storing the metadata is created. This file is overwritten if
36 it already exists. The following options take an argument specifying the
37 metadata:
