API reference for the meta package — collects environment variables, git context, parent process info, and user-supplied key-value pairs for each deletion.

#internal/meta

#internal/meta

Package meta collects rich metadata about each deletion: environment variables, git repository context, parent process information, and arbitrary user-supplied key-value pairs.

#Metadata

Go go
type Metadata struct

Metadata holds contextual information captured at deletion time.

#Collect

Go go
func Collect(excludePatterns []string, customMeta map[string]string) (*Metadata, error)

Collect gathers metadata from the current environment.

Best-effort per collector -- git context and parent-process details degrade to empty values rather than failing. The one thing it refuses to work around is an exclude pattern that does not compile: that is the caller asking for a redaction, and continuing without it would write the very variables the caller meant to keep out. See collectEnv.
