NAME
wvtag - metadata utility for wavpack files
SYNOPSIS
wvtag [-options] INFILE...
DESCRIPTION
wvtag applies the specified metadata operation(s) to each of the
specified WavPack source file(s) in this order: clean, import, delete,
write, extract, list. Note that WavPack metadata is stored in APEv2
tags, and this tool will automatically import from an ID3v1 tag if it
is the only tag present on the source file, and that ID3v1 tag will be
deleted and replaced with an APEv2 tag if an edit is requested.

portable devices and may not work with some programs including
WavPack pre-4.70)
-c

-cc
extract cuesheet to source-name.cue file in same directory as
source file (equivalent to -xx "cuesheet=%a.cue")

are in UTF-8 already
