💖 COMPOSER-CLI(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the composer-cli manual, this is the page for composer-cli-compose-metadata and it's literally just here to hand you a tar of the the metadata for the compose 🌸 (yes the original says "the the", I'm not fighting it, that's canon now, iykyk)

---

✨ NAME ✨

composer-cli-compose-metadata — get a tar of the the metadata for the compose 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

composer-cli compose metadata UUID [flags]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

bestie. you want the metadata? this command gives you a tar of the the metadata for the compose. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one UUID in, one tar out, main character energy 🫶

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• --filename="" — optional path and filename to save the tar into. if you don't say where it goes, it just... goes wherever it goes ✨
• -h, --help[=false] — help for metadata. your little emergency exit if you forget everything 💀

---

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these ones aren't even this command's, they're inherited from the parent, and they still show up like they pay rent here 🏠

• -a, --api=1 — WELDR Server API Version to use
• --cloudsocket="/run/cloudapi/api.socket" — path to the cloudapi server's socket file
• -j, --json[=false] — output the raw JSON response instead of the normal output. raw. unfiltered. no notes 🔥
• --log="" — path to optional logfile
• -s, --socket="/run/weldr/api.socket" — path to the WELDR API server's socket file
• --test=0 — pass test mode to compose. 1 = Mock compose with fail. 2 = Mock compose with finished.
• --timeout=240 — timeout to use for server communication. set to 0 for no timeout. (no timeout?? bold. brave. iconic 🙈)
• --weldr-only[=false] — only use the WELDR API; skip using the newer Cloud API
