NAME
       pw-metadata - The PipeWire metadata

SYNOPSIS
       pw-metadata [options] [id [key [value [type ] ] ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       Monitor, set and delete metadata on PipeWire objects.

       Metadata are key/type/value triplets attached to objects identified by id. The metadata is shared between all
       applications binding to the same metadata object. When an object is destroyed, all its metadata is automatically
       removed.

       When no value is given, pw-metadata will query and log the metadata matching the optional arguments id and key.
       Without any arguments, all metadata is displayed.

       When value is given, pw-metadata will set the metadata for id and key to value and an optional type.
