Creating Metadata

The docbuild metadata subcommand is used to create metadata from a daps metadata call.

Synopsis of docbuild metadata

docbuild metadata [OPTIONS] [DOCTYPES]...

The process does this:

1. Determine the doctypes from the command line.

2. Iterate over all deliverables of the doctypes.

3. For each deliverable, call daps metadata to create the metadata.

4. Store the metadata in the cache directory of the deliverable. The cache directory is defined in the env configuration file under paths.meta_cache_dir, see also section Configuring the Tool.
