## Decoding Metadata

Metadata is stored in `xl.meta` files for erasure coded objects. Each disk in the set containing the object has this file. The file format is a binary format and therefore requires tools to view values.

### Installing xl-meta

To install, [Go](https://golang.org/dl/) must be installed. Once installed, execute this to install the binary:

```bash

# Minimum password length (0 to disable).
password.min.length=8

# Require uppercase letters in password.
password.require.uppercase=false

# Require lowercase letters in password.
password.require.lowercase=false

# Require digits in password.
password.require.digit=false

# Require special characters in password.
password.require.special.char=false
