.SH NAME
pw-metadata \- The PipeWire metadata
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
\fBpw\-metadata\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIid\fP [\fIkey\fP [\fIvalue\fP [\fItype\fP ] ] ] ]
.fi
.sp
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Monitor, set and delete metadata on PipeWire objects.
.sp
Metadata are key/type/value triplets attached to objects identified
by \fIid\fP\&. The metadata is shared between all applications
binding to the same metadata object. When an object is destroyed, all its
metadata is automatically removed.
.sp
When no \fIvalue\fP is given, \fBpw\-metadata\fP will query and
log the metadata matching the optional arguments \fIid\fP
and \fIkey\fP\&. Without any arguments, all metadata is displayed.
.sp
When \fIvalue\fP is given, \fBpw\-metadata\fP will set the
metadata for \fIid\fP and \fIkey\fP to \fIvalue\fP and
an optional \fItype\fP\&.
