The EXPORT_METADATA command exports the metadata for a specified load layer. The following parameters are supported by the command.
- FILENAME - full path of file (must already be loaded) that you want to save the metadata for.
- METADATA_FILENAME - full path of new text file to create on disk containing the metadata for the specified layer.
- ADD_LIDAR_STATS - specifies whether or not statistics about a Lidar point cloud should be dumped to the file for Lidar point cloud layers. This includes all of the statistics that you see on the Statistics tab of the Metadata dialog for a Lidar layer. Use ADD_LIDAR_STATS=YES to enable.
- APPEND_TO_FILE - specifies that the metadata text should be appended to the file specified if it already exists rather than a new file being created. Use APPEND_TO_FILE=YES to enable.
- HEADER - specifies a header line to include before the metadata output by this statement. If you want to insert extra line breaks in the header, use the \n escape character.
- ADD_BLANK_LINE - specifies that a blank line will be added to the file if APPEND_TO_FILE=YES is added to the command and the file was not empty to start with. Use ADD_BLANK_LINE=YES to enable adding the blank line.
