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 - 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 - 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 - 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.

Installation:

Via cargo:
