LocalSearch manual, bestie ✨ — this is the page for localsearch-extract, and yes, we’re getting into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

localsearch-extract — Show metadata extractor output. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSYS 🦋

localsearch extract FILE

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so localsearch extract reads the file you give it and extracts any metadata it can from that file, then displays the metadata on standard output. 🫶

The metadata is displayed as RDF data, equivalent to the data inserted in the indexer database relative to the extracted file metadata. This RDF data can feasibly be imported in a compatible triple store. No cap. 🌈

The actual metadata extraction is done by a separate sandboxed process. 🧚

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -o, --output-format=<FORMAT> — choose which format to use to output results. The supported formats are turtle, trig, and json-ld. 🐢✨

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Using command line to extract metadata from a file

$ localsearch extract /path/to/some/file.mp3

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
