NAME

6       pw-metadata - The PipeWire metadata
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pw-metadata [options] [id [key [value [type ] ] ] ]
10

DESCRIPTION

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