NAME

       bp_meta_gff.pl - Get/set Bio::DB::GFF meta-data

SYNOPSIS

         # set the following meta data values
         % bp_meta_gff.pl -d testdb tag1=value1 tag2=value2

         # get the indicated meta data value
         % bp_meta_gff.pl -d testdb tag1 tag2

DESCRIPTION

       This script gets or sets metadata in a Bio::DB::GFF database.  Not all adaptors support
       this operation!  To set a series of tags, pass a set of tag=value pairs to the script.  To
       get the contents of a series of tags, pass the bare tag names.

       The output from the get operation will be an easily parseable set of tag=value pairs, one
       per line.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS

       Command-line options can be abbreviated to single-letter options.  e.g. -d instead of
       --database.

          --database <dsn>      Mysql database name (default dbi:mysql:test)
          --adaptor <adaptor>   Mysql adaptor (default dbi::mysqlopt)
          --user    <user>      Username for mysql authentication
          --pass    <password>  Password for mysql authentication
