namaste [OPTIONS] [ACTION] [ACTION PARAMETERS...]
The name “namaste” in this context is derived from the phrase “Name as text”. It is a way to encode a directory with basic metadata (e.g. directory type, who created it, what is it, when was it created).
You can see “namaste” metadata by looking at the directory contents without any special software. Namaste fields start with zero to 4 followed by an equal sign. I.e. 0 - type, 1 - who, 2 - what, 3 - when, 4 - where.
0=bagit_0.1
1=Twain,M.
