.SH NAME
pw-metadata \- The PipeWire metadata
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBpw-metadata [\fIoptions\fB] [\fIid\fB [\fIkey\fB [\fIvalue\fB [\fItype\fB ] ] ] ]
\f1
.SH DESCRIPTION
Monitor, set and delete metadata on PipeWire objects.

Metadata are key/type/value tripplets attached to objects identified by \fIid\f1. 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 \fIvalue\f1 is given, pw-metadata
will query and log the metadata matching the optional arguments \fIid\f1 and \fIkey\f1. Without any arguments, all metadata is displayed.

When \fIvalue\f1 is given, pw-metadata
will set the metadata for \fIid\f1 and \fIkey\f1 to \fIvalue\f1 and an optional \fItype\f1.
