# metadata

The `metadata` sample program converts a source document into a single XML file that contains only the document metadata (Author, Subject, Title, and so on). This program runs on both Windows and UNIX platforms.

To run `metadata`, type the following at the command line:

    metadata inputfile outputfile

where:

`inputfile` is the full path and file name of the source document.

`outputfile` is the full path and file name of the first XML output file.
