mat2: Show metadata in a file without removing it.
$ mat2 --show ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "mat2 --show ${filename}" is used to display metadata information of a file using the mat2 tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "mat2": It is the name of the command-line tool used for inspecting and modifying metadata of files.
- "--show": It is an argument or option provided to the "mat2" command. It instructs the tool to display the metadata information of the specified file.
- "${filename}": It is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the actual name or path of the file you want to inspect.
By executing this command and replacing "${filename}" with the path or name of a file, you can see the metadata associated with that file. The metadata may include details like file size, creation date, modification date, author, document title, and more, depending on the file type and available metadata.
