+
+# NAME
+
+metaflac - program to list, add, remove, or edit metadata in one or more
+FLAC files.
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+**metaflac** \[ *options* \] \[ *operations* \] *FLACfile ...*
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Use **metaflac** to list, add, remove, or edit metadata in one or more
+FLAC files. You may perform one major operation, or many shorthand
+operations at a time.
+
+# GENERAL USAGE
+
+metaflac is the command-line .flac file metadata editor. You can use it
+to list the contents of metadata blocks, edit, delete or insert blocks,
+and manage padding.
+
+metaflac takes a set of "options" (though some are not optional) and a
+set of FLAC files to operate on. There are three kinds of "options":
+
+- Major operations, which specify a mode of operation like listing
+  blocks, removing blocks, etc. These will have sub-operations describing
+  exactly what is to be done.
+
+- Shorthand operations, which are convenient synonyms for major
+  operations. For example, there is a shorthand operation
+  --show-sample-rate that shows just the sample rate field from the
+  STREAMINFO metadata block.
+
+- Global options, which affect all the operations.
+
+All of these are described in the tables below. At least one shorthand
+or major operation must be supplied. You can use multiple shorthand
+operations to do more than one thing to a file or set of files. Most of
+the common things to do to metadata have shorthand operations. As an
+example, here is how to show the MD5 signatures for a set of three FLAC
+files:
+
+`metaflac --show-md5sum file1.flac file2.flac file3.flac`
+
+Another example; this removes all DESCRIPTION and COMMENT tags in a set
+of FLAC files, and uses the --preserve-modtime global option to keep the
+FLAC file modification times the same (usually when files are edited the
+modification time is set to the current time):
+
+`metaflac --preserve-modtime --remove-tag=DESCRIPTION --remove-tag=COMMENT file1.flac file2.flac file3.flac`
+
+# OPTIONS
+
+**\--preserve-modtime**  
+:	Preserve the original modification time in spite of edits.
+
+**\--with-filename**  
+:	Prefix each output line with the FLAC file name (the default if more
+	than one FLAC file is specified). This option has no effect for
+	options exporting to a file, like --export-tags-to.
+
+**\--no-filename**  
+:	Do not prefix each output line with the FLAC file name (the default
+	if only one FLAC file is specified).
+
+**\--no-utf8-convert**  
+:	Do not convert tags from UTF-8 to local charset, or vice versa. This
+	is useful for scripts, and setting tags in situations where the
+	locale is wrong.
+
+**\--dont-use-padding**  
+:	By default metaflac tries to use padding where possible to avoid
+	rewriting the entire file if the metadata size changes. Use this
+	option to tell metaflac to not take advantage of padding this way.
+
+# SHORTHAND OPERATIONS
+
+**\--show-md5sum**  
+:	Show the MD5 signature from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-min-blocksize**  
+:	Show the minimum block size from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-max-blocksize**  
+:	Show the maximum block size from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-min-framesize**  
+:	Show the minimum frame size from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-max-framesize**  
+:	Show the maximum frame size from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-sample-rate**  
+:	Show the sample rate from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-channels**  
+:	Show the number of channels from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-bps**  
+:	Show the \# of bits per sample from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-total-samples**  
+:	Show the total \# of samples from the STREAMINFO block.
+
+**\--show-vendor-tag**  
+:	Show the vendor string from the VORBIS_COMMENT block.
+
+**\--show-tag=name**  
+:	Show all tags where the field name matches 'name'.
+
+**\--show-all-tags**  
+:	Show all tags. This is an alias for --export-tags-to=-.
+
+**\--remove-tag=name**  
+:	Remove all tags whose field name is 'name'.
+
+**\--remove-first-tag=name**  
+:	Remove first tag whose field name is 'name'.
+
+**\--remove-all-tags**  
+:	Remove all tags, leaving only the vendor string.
+
+**\--remove-all-tags-except=NAME1\[=NAME2\[=...\]\]**  
+:   Remove all tags, except the vendor string and the tag names
+    specified. Tag names must be separated by an = character.
+
+**\--set-tag=field**  
+:	Add a tag. The field must comply with the Vorbis comment spec, of the
+	form "NAME=VALUE". If there is currently no tag block, one will be
+	created.
+
+**\--set-tag-from-file=field**  
+:	Like \--set-tag, except the VALUE is a filename whose contents will
+	be read verbatim to set the tag value. Unless \--no-utf8-convert is
+	specified, the contents will be converted to UTF-8 from the local
+	charset. This can be used to store a cuesheet in a tag (e.g.
+	\--set-tag-from-file="CUESHEET=image.cue"). Do not try to store
+	binary data in tag fields! Use APPLICATION blocks for that.
+
+**\--import-tags-from=file**  
+:	Import tags from a file. Use '-' for stdin. Each line should be of
+	the form NAME=VALUE. Multi-line comments are currently not supported.
+	Specify \--remove-all-tags and/or \--no-utf8-convert before
+	\--import-tags-from if necessary. If FILE is '-' (stdin), only one
+	FLAC file may be specified.
+
+**\--export-tags-to=file**  
+:	Export tags to a file. Use '-' for stdout. Each line will be of the
+	form NAME=VALUE. Specify \--no-utf8-convert if necessary.
+
+**\--import-cuesheet-from=file**  
+:	Import a cuesheet from a file. Use '-' for stdin. Only one FLAC file
+	may be specified. A seekpoint will be added for each index point in
+	the cuesheet to the SEEKTABLE unless \--no-cued-seekpoints is
+	specified.
+
+**\--export-cuesheet-to=file**  
+:	Export CUESHEET block to a cuesheet file, suitable for use by CD
+	authoring software. Use '-' for stdout. Only one FLAC file may be
+	specified on the command line.
+
+**\--import-picture-from={***FILENAME***\|***SPECIFICATION***}**  
+:	Import a picture and store it in a PICTURE metadata block. More than
+	one \--import-picture-from command can be specified. Either a filename
+	for the picture file or a more complete specification form can be
+	used. The SPECIFICATION is a string whose parts are separated by \|
+	(pipe) characters. Some parts may be left empty to invoke default
+	values. FILENAME is just shorthand for "\|\|\|\|FILENAME". For
+	details on the specification, see the section **Picture
+	specification** in the **flac(1)** man page.
+
+**\--export-picture-to=file**  
+:	Export PICTURE block to a file. Use '-' for stdout. Only one FLAC
+	file may be specified on the command line. The first PICTURE block
+	will be exported unless \--export-picture-to is preceded by a
+	\--block-number=# option to specify the exact metadata block to
+	extract. Note that the block number is the one shown by \--list.
+
+**\--add-replay-gain**  
+:	Calculates the title and album gains/peaks of the given FLAC files as
+	if all the files were part of one album, then stores them as FLAC
+	tags. The tags are the same as those used by vorbisgain. Existing
+	ReplayGain tags will be replaced. If only one FLAC file is given,
+	the album and title gains will be the same. Since this operation
+	requires two passes, it is always executed last, after all other
+	operations have been completed and written to disk. All FLAC files
+	specified must have the same resolution, sample rate, and number of
+	channels. Only mono and stereo files are allowed, and the sample
+	rate must be 8, 11.025, 12, 16, 18.9, 22.05, 24, 28, 32, 36, 37.8,
+	44.1, 48, 56, 64, 72, 75.6, 88.2, 96, 112, 128, 144, 151.2, 176.4,
+	192, 224, 256, 288, 302.4, 352.8, 384, 448, 512, 576, or 604.8 kHz.
+
+**\--scan-replay-gain**  
+:	Like \--add-replay-gain, but only analyzes the files rather than
+	writing them to the tags.
+
+**\--remove-replay-gain**  
+:	Removes the ReplayGain tags.
+
+**\--add-seekpoint={***\#***\|***X***\|***\#x***\|***\#s***}**  
+:	Add seek points to a SEEKTABLE block. Using \#, a seek point at that
+	sample number is added. Using X, a placeholder point is added at the
+	end of a the table. Using \#x, \# evenly spaced seek points will be
+	added, the first being at sample 0. Using \#s, a seekpoint will be
+	added every \# seconds (# does not have to be a whole number; it can
+	be, for example, 9.5, meaning a seekpoint every 9.5 seconds). If no
+	SEEKTABLE block exists, one will be created. If one already exists,
+	points will be added to the existing table, and any duplicates will
+	be turned into placeholder points. You may use many \--add-seekpoint
+	options; the resulting SEEKTABLE will be the unique-ified union of
+	all such values. Example: \--add-seekpoint=100x \--add-seekpoint=3.5s
+	will add 100 evenly spaced seekpoints and a seekpoint every 3.5
+	seconds.
+
+**\--add-padding=length**  
+:	Add a padding block of the given length (in bytes). The overall
+	length of the new block will be 4 + length; the extra 4 bytes is for
+	the metadata block header.
+
+# MAJOR OPERATIONS
+
+**\--list**  
+:	List the contents of one or more metadata blocks to stdout. By
+	default, all metadata blocks are listed in text format. Use the
+	options **\--block-number**, **\--block-type** or
+	**\--except-block-type** to change this behavior.
+	
+**\--remove**  
+:	Remove one or more metadata blocks from the metadata. Use the options
+	**\--block-number**, **\--block-type** or **\--except-block-type** 
+	to specify which blocks should be removed. Note that if both
+	\--block-number and \--[except-]block-type are specified, the result
+	is the logical AND of both arguments. Unless \--dont-use-padding
+	is specified, the blocks will be replaced with padding. You may not 
+	remove the STREAMINFO block. 
+
+**\--block-number=#\[,#\[...\]\]**  
+:	An optional comma-separated list of block numbers to display. The
+	first block, the STREAMINFO block, is block 0.
+
+**\--block-type=type\[,type\[...\]\]**
+
+**\--except-block-type=type\[,type\[...\]\]**
+:	An optional comma-separated list of block types to be included or
+	ignored with this option. Use only one of \--block-type or
+	\--except-block-type. The valid block types are: STREAMINFO, PADDING,
+	APPLICATION, SEEKTABLE, VORBIS_COMMENT, PICTURE. You may narrow down
+	the types of APPLICATION blocks selected by appending APPLICATION 
+	with a colon and the ID of the APPLICATION block in either ASCII
+	or hexadecimal representation. E.g.	APPLICATION:abcd for the
+	APPLICATION block(s) whose textual representation of the 4-byte ID
+	is "abcd" or APPLICATION:0xXXXXXXXX for the APPLICATION block(s)
+	whose hexadecimal big- endian representation of the 4-byte ID
+	is "0xXXXXXXXX". For the example "abcd" above the hexadecimal
+	equivalalent is 0x61626364
+
+**\--application-data-format=hexdump\|text**  
+:	If the application block you are displaying contains binary data but
+	your \--data-format=text, you can display a hex dump of the
+	application data contents instead using
+	\--application-data-format=hexdump.
+
+**\--data-format=binary\|binary-headerless\|text**  
+:	For use with --list. By default a human-readable text
+	representation of the data is isplayed. You may specify
+	--data-format=binary to dump the raw binary form of each metadata
+	block. Specify --data-format=binary-headerless to omit output of
+	metadata block headers, including the id of APPLICATION metadata
+	blocks.
+
+**\--append**  
+:	Insert a metadata block from a file. This must be a binary block as
+	exported with --list --data-format=binary. The insertion point is
+	defined with --block-number=#.  The new block will be added after the
+	given block number.  This prevents the illegal insertion of a block
+	before the first STREAMINFO block.  You may not --append another
+	STREAMINFO block. It is possible to copy a metadata block from one
+	file to another with this option. For example use
+	`metaflac --list --data-format=binary --block-number=6 file.flac > block`
+	to export the block, and then import it with
+	`metaflac --append anotherfile.flac < block`
+
+**\--remove-all**  
+:	Remove all metadata blocks (except the STREAMINFO block) from the
+	metadata. Unless \--dont-use-padding is specified, the blocks will be
+	replaced with padding.
+
+**\--merge-padding**  
+:	Merge adjacent PADDING blocks into single blocks.
+
+**\--sort-padding**  
+:	Move all PADDING blocks to the end of the metadata and merge them
+	into a single block.
