\fBopustags\fP can read and edit the comment header of an Opus file.

It basically has two modes: read-only and read-write (for tag edition).

It has two modes: read-only for tag listing, and read-write for tag edition.

printed on \fBstdout\fP.

As for the edition mode, you need to specify an output file (or \fB-\fP for
|
||||
\fBstdout\fP). It must be different from the input file.

You may want to use \fB--overwrite\fP if you know what you’re doing.

Tag edition can be made with the \fB--add\fP, \fB--delete\fP and \fB--set\fP
|

options. They can be written in any order and don’t conflict with each other.

However, they aren’t executed in any order: first the specified tags are

In case an Ogg file contains multiple streams, the \fB--stream\fP option lets
|

you specify the particular stream to modify. You can modify several streams at
|

once by using this option more than once. Only operations specified after this
|
||||
option and relevant, and until another \fB--stream\fP option is found.

You can delete all the tags with \fB--delete-all\fP. This operation can be
|
||||
combined with \fB--add\fP to set new tags without being bothered by the old
|

ones. Another way to do this is to use \fB--set-all\fP as explained below.

The format is the same as the one used for output; that is to say,

newline-separated \fIFIELD=Value\fP assignment. Note that this implies

\fBWarning:\fP the Opus format specifications requires tags to be encoded in

\fBUTF-8\fP. This tool ignores the system locale, assuming the encoding is
|

set to UTF-8, and assume that tags are already encoded in UTF-8.

You can use \fB--edit\fP to spawn your \fBEDITOR\fP and edit the tags

interactively. In read-write mode, if no other options is specified, this one

is implied.

.SH EXAMPLES

Here's how you would list all tags in a stream:
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
opustags in.ogg
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Here's how you would edit two streams at once, setting the title and artist of
|
||||
the first, and only the title of the second:
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
opustags --stream 1 --set TITLE=X --set ARTIST=Y --stream 2 --set TITLE=Y in.ogg -o out.ogg
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
Here's how you would set two artists:
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
opustags --delete ARTIST --add ARTIST=A --add ARTIST=B in.ogg -o out.ogg
