pyprinttags(1)
β¨ pyprinttags β it's the pyprinttags(1) era β¨
okay bestie, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and it's giving "tiny script, huge main character energy" π
π NAME π
pyprinttags β the lil cutie that prints the tags of your audio files straight to stdout π΅β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
pyprinttags [-b|--batch] file1 [file2] ...
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so pyprinttags is this small script that ships with the pytaglib python tag reading library π«Ά. literally its whole job? it prints all the tags it finds in the audio files you hand it as command line parameters. no cap, that's the vibe. π§
now here's the part where it gets a little spicy πΆοΈ β if a file has metadata that can not be textually represented, the program says so in the output. and then? then it asks you whether to remove those pieces from the file π. that whole interactive moment can be turned off with the -b option, so like, no surprises if you're scripting. π
π OPTIONS π
-b,--batchβ disables user interaction in case of unsupported metadata π. it's the "bestie I'm running this in a script, don't ask me questions" flag.
