# ataglist(1)

print audio file metadata

## NAME

ataglist - print audio file metadata

## SYNOPSIS

ataglist FILE

## OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

*ataglist* only takes one argument. An audio file to work on. All other arguments are ignored silently.

## DESCRIPTION

*ataglist* transparently outputs tagname-tagvalue pairs in the following format:

```
 tag-name
 tag-value
```

It can be used to find out and use meta-information from audio files in shell scripts and the like.

Calling this program by hand is probably not that useful.
