TRACKER3-INFO(1) Tracker manual TRACKER3-INFO(1)
NAME
tracker3-info - Retrieve all information available for a certain file.
SYNOPSIS
tracker3 info [options...] <file1> [[file2] ...]
DESCRIPTION
tracker3 info asks for all the known metadata available for the given
file.
Multiple file arguments can be provided to retrieve information about
multiple files.
The file argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also does not
have to be an absolute path.
OPTIONS
-f, --full-namespaces
By default, all keys and values reported about any given file are
returned in shortened form, for example, nie:title is shown instead
of http://tracker.api.gnome.org/ontology/v3/nie#title. This makes
things much easier to see generally and the output is less
cluttered. This option reverses that so FULL namespaces are shown
instead.
-c, --plain-text-content
If the resource being displayed has nie:PlainTextContent (i.e.
information about the content of the resource, which could be the
contents of a file on the disk), then this option displays that in
the output.
-i, --resource-is-iri
In most cases, the file argument supplied points to a URL or PATH
which is queried for according to the resource associated with it
by nie:url. However, in cases where the file specified turns out to
be the actual URN itself, this argument is required to tell
"tracker3 info" not to do the extra step of looking up the URN
related by nie:url.
For example, consider that you store URNs by the actual URL itself and
use the unique nie:url in another resource (which is quite reasonable
when using containers and multi-resource conditions), you would need
this argument to tell "tracker3 info" that the file supplied is
actually a URN not URL.
-t, --turtle
Output results as Turtle RDF. If -f is enabled, full URIs are shown
for subjects, predicates and objects; otherwise, shortened URIs are
used, and all the prefixes Tracker knows about are printed at the
top of the output.
