✨ ataglist — print audio file metadata ✨

okay bestie, so this is a lil Perl script from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and it's literally just here to spill the tea on your audio files 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ataglist — print audio file metadata 🎵✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ataglist FILE

---

🌸 OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS 🌸

ngl there's not much to say here, she's a one-argument kinda girl 🫶

• FILE — the one and only argument: an audio file to work on 🎧. That's it. That's the whole vibe.

⚠️ Every other argument you throw at her? Ignored. Silently. Not a warning, not an error, just... not acknowledged 💀 she's very unbothered.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ataglist transparently outputs tagname-tagvalue pairs in this exact format:

tag-name
tag-value

It's giving "metadata delivery service" ✨ It can be used to find out and use meta-information from audio files in shell scripts and the like — so like, scripting bestie energy, not vibes-and-chill energy 🌈

Lowkey though: calling this program by hand is probably not that useful 🙈 she's built to be summoned by other programs, not by you at 2am for fun (no shade).
