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.

       The sndfile-metadata-get utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
