extract-metadata

A command-line utility for batch extracting metadata from safetensors files. This tool can process individual files or recursively scan directories to extract metadata from all safetensors files.

Features

• Process single safetensors files or entire directories
• Support for glob patterns to match multiple files
• Recursive directory scanning
• Asynchronous processing for better performance
• Detailed metadata extraction from safetensors files

Installation

Ensure you have Rust installed on your system, then you can install using cargo:

cargo install extract-metadata

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/rakki194/extract-metadata
cd extract-metadata
cargo build --release

Usage

The tool supports several usage patterns:

1. Process a single file:

   extract-metadata path/to/model.safetensors
   

2. Process all safetensors files in a directory (recursive):

   extract-metadata path/to/directory
   

3. Use glob patterns to match specific files:

   extract-metadata "models/*.safetensors"
   

Dependencies

• tokio - Async runtime
• anyhow - Error handling
• glob - File pattern matching
• env_logger - Logging functionality
• dset - Internal safetensors processing
• xio - File system operations

Error Handling

The tool includes robust error handling and will:

• Skip invalid files while continuing to process others
• Provide clear error messages for invalid paths or patterns
• Handle IO errors gracefully
