The command exiv2 -P kt ${filename}
is used to extract and display the metadata information of a file specified by ${filename} using the exiv2 tool.

: These are command-line options provided to the exiv2 tool.-P
: Specifies a particular action or processing option for exiv2.kt
: Thekt
option is used to display the key-value pairs of individual metadata properties.
${filename}
: It represents a placeholder for the actual filename or path of the file you want to extract metadata from. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual file name or path.
When the command is executed, exiv2 will parse the file specified by ${filename} and display the key-value pairs for each metadata property it finds. This can include information such as image dimensions, creation date, camera details, and more.
