METADATA(1)

💖 METADATA 💖

okay bestie so this is METADATA(1), a User Commands page, and it's literally the manual for hachoir-metadata — the little tool that goes digging through your files and pulls out the meta-datas hiding inside. 🕵️♀️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Metadata — extract meta-datas from a file 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's the whole vibe, the literal usage line, no cap:

usage: hachoir-metadata [options] files

🎀 options 🎀

👑 Metadata 👑

Option of metadata extraction and display — this is the whole little family of flags that decide what gets pulled out and how it gets shown. 🫶

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. classic. the "hello?? what do i do" button 🙈
• --type — Only display file type (description)
• --mime — Only display MIME type
• --level=LEVEL — Quantify of information to display from 1 to 9 (9 is the maximum). so like, how much tea do you want spilled, on a scale of 1 to 9 🔥
• --raw — Raw output
• --bench — Run benchmark. for when you want the numbers, periodt ⏱️
• --parser-list — List all parsers then exit
• --profiler — Run profiler
• --version — Display version and exit
• --quality=QUALITY — Information quality (0.0=fastest, 1.0=best, and default is 0.5). the eternal struggle, speed vs. slay 🌈
• --maxlen=MAXLEN — Maximum string length in characters, 0 means unlimited (default: 300). 0 is giving "no limits, main character energy" 💀

🧚 Hachoir library 🧚

Configure Hachoir library — these ones are the knobs and dials for the library doing the actual heavy lifting underneath. 🦋

• --verbose — Verbose mode. she will NOT stop talking 💬
• --log=LOG — Write log in a file
• --quiet — Quiet mode (don't display warning). shhh, no warnings, we're chill 😌
• --debug — Debug mode 🐛

heads up bestie — that's genuinely the entire list, every single flag, nothing left out, i would never do you like that 💖

and that's the page!! Metadata extractor version 1.3, dated January 2010 — yeah she's an elder but she still ate and left no crumbs 👑💅 bye ily 🫶
