       mat [options] files

DESCRIPTION

       The  Metadata  Anonymisation Toolkit is a lib (with a CLI and a GUI) created to anonymise file's metadata. In essence, metadata answer who,
       what, when, where, why, and how about every face of the data that are being documented. They can be a risk for privacy.

              Check if a file is free of harmful metadatas

       -d, --display
              List all the harmful meta of a file without removing them

       -f, --force
              Don't check if files are clean before cleaning

       -l, --list

       mat --check *.jpg
              Check all the jpg images from the current folder

NOTES

       MAT only process metadata, it does not handle file data.  Blame yourself if you are traced back because of the data of your files.  MAT  is
       not  perfect  : In most of the cases, a forensic expert with a lot of time can trace back your document.  If you want absolute privacy, use
       plain-text.
