Usage: vault kv metadata patch [options] KEY

  This command can be used to create a blank key in the key-value store or to
  update key configuration for a specified key.

  Create a key in the key-value store with no data:

      $ vault kv metadata patch -mount=secret foo

  The deprecated path-like syntax can also be used, but this should be avoided 
  for KV v2, as the fact that it is not actually the full API path to 
  the secret (secret/metadata/foo) can cause confusion: 
  
      $ vault kv metadata patch secret/foo

  Set a max versions setting on the key:

      $ vault kv metadata patch -mount=secret -max-versions=5 foo

  Set delete-version-after on the key:

      $ vault kv metadata patch -mount=secret -delete-version-after=3h25m19s foo

  Require Check-and-Set for this key:

      $ vault kv metadata patch -mount=secret -cas-required foo

  Set custom metadata on the key:

      $ vault kv metadata patch -mount=secret -custom-metadata=foo=abc -custom-metadata=bar=123 foo

  To remove custom meta data from the corresponding path in the key-value store, kv metadata patch can be used.

      $ vault kv metadata patch -mount=secret -remove-custom-metadata=bar foo

  Additional flags and more advanced use cases are detailed below.
