          ebook-meta ebook_file [options]

       Read/Write metadata from/to e-book files.

       Supported formats for reading metadata: azw, azw1, azw3, azw4, cb7,
       cbc, cbr, cbz, chm, docx, epub, fb2, fbz, html, htmlz, imp, kepub, lit,
       lrf, lrx, mobi, odt, oebzip, opf, pdb, pdf, pml, pmlz, pobi, prc, rar,

       Different file types support different kinds of metadata. If you try to
       set some metadata on a file type that does not support it, the metadata
       will be silently ignored.

       Whenever you pass arguments to ebook-meta that have spaces in them,
       enclose the arguments in quotation marks. For example: "/some path/with
       spaces"
