# Notes about detecting metadata
While MAT2 is doing its very best to display metadata when the
`--show`
flag is
passed, it doesn't mean that a file is clean from any metadata if MAT2 doesn't
show any. There is no reliable way to detect every single possible metadata for
complex file formats.
This is why you shouldn't rely on metadata's presence to decide if your file must
be cleaned or not.
