AzCopy - how to specify metadata when copying a file to a blob storage

I'm trying to upload a file to an Azure Blob storage using AzCopy, but I want to include metadata. According to the documentation, "AzCopy copy" has a metadata parameter where I have to provide key/value pairs as a string. How has this string to be formatted? I can't get it to work and don't find any examples...

AzCopy.exe copy .\testfile2.txt "https://storageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/upload/testfile4.txt?sastoken" --metadata ?what_here?

Thanks!

The string should be in this format: --metadata "name=ivan".

If you want to add multi metadata, use this format: --metadata "name=ivan;city=tokyo"

This is the command I'm using, and the version of azcopy is 10.3.4 :

azcopy copy "file_path" "https://xxx.blob.core.windows.net/test1/aaa1.txt?sasToken" --metadata "name=ivan"

The test result:
