What is the difference between metadata API and tooling API?  When I read the documentation, they both appear the same to me from the metadata perspective. I would like to know how I can use it for retrieving metadata.  How is the tooling API specifically different from metadata API for retrieving metadata?

  iwlist is used to scan for available wireless networks and display additional information about them that is not displayed by iwconfig.
