## Metadata Support

The metadata of an image is accessed via two functions. The `ltic_getNumMetadataRecords()` function returns the number of metadata records in the image. The `ltic_metadataRecord()` function is used to extract the actual data values of a specific record.

As with the `ltic_decode()` call, the parameters to the `ltic_getMetadataRecord()` function closely mimic their C++ SDK counterparts in the `LTIMetadataDatabase` class.
