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.
