## **MEtadata GAtherer**

This is a simple command line tool that takes a file path as an argument, gathers the avaliable metadata of the file and places it inside of the user's clipboard.

This command line tool uses three external crates:

1.  [Structopt](https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt) - This is a crate that allows for the command line tool to take in a file path as an argument and then use and manipulate it.

2.  [Chrono](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono) - This is a crate that allows for the conversion between `std::time::SystemTime` to a `std::string::String`, so that it can be pasted onto the user's clipboard.

3.  [Clipboard](https://github.com/aweinstock314/rust-clipboard) - This is a crate that allows the tool to access the user's clipboard and fill it with the metadata of the file.

### Features:

* Can be used to gather metadata of files, directories and symlinks.
* Instantaneous.
