NAME
pw-metadata - The PipeWire metadata
SYNOPSIS
pw-metadata [options] [id [key [value [type ] ] ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Monitor, set and delete metadata on PipeWire objects.
Metadata are key/type/value triplets attached to objects identified by
id. The metadata is shared between all applications binding to the same
metadata object. When an object is destroyed, all its metadata is
automatically removed.
When no value is given, pw-metadata will query and log the metadata
matching the optional arguments id and key. Without any arguments, all
metadata is displayed.
When value is given, pw-metadata will set the metadata for id and key
to value and an optional type.
