Usage :

  sndfile-metadata-set [options] <file>
  sndfile-metadata-set [options] <input file> <output file>

Where an option is made up of a pair of a field to set (one of
the 'bext' or metadata fields below) and a string. Fields are
as follows :

    --bext-description Set the 'bext' description.
    --bext-originator Set the 'bext' originator.
    --bext-orig-ref Set the 'bext' originator reference.
    --bext-umid Set the 'bext' UMID.
    --bext-orig-date Set the 'bext' origination date.
    --bext-orig-time Set the 'bext' origination time.
    --bext-coding-hist Set the 'bext' coding history.
    --bext-time-raf Set the 'bext' Time ref.

    --str-comment Set the metadata comment.
    --str-title Set the metadata title.
    --str-copyright Set the metadata copyright.
    --str-artist Set the metadata artist.
    --str-date Set the metadata date.
    --str-album Set the metadata album.
    --str-license Set the metadata license.

There are also the following arguments which do not take a
parameter :

    --bext-auto-time-date Set the 'bext' time and date to current time/date.
    --bext-auto-time Set the 'bext' time to current time.
    --bext-auto-date Set the 'bext' date to current date.
    --str-auto-date Set the metadata date to current date.

Most of the above operations can be done in-place on an existing
file. If any operation cannot be performed, the application will
exit with an appropriate error message.
