Metaplex sign command metadata parameter

Question

After creating an NFT via candy machine v2 I'm trying to execute a sign command (link to the docs)

This is the command from the documentation:

ts-node ~/metaplex/js/packages/cli/src/candy-machine-v2-cli.ts sign \
    -e devnet \
    -k ~/.config/solana/devnet.json \
    -c example

Looking at the code it seems that the docs do not match the implementation.

It requires an -m/--metadata parameter and I'm not sure what it is.
Tried to plug in a bunch of different values, but I get Transaction failed: Incorrect account owner or in one case Transaction failed: This metadata does not have creators

What should I put as the parameter? Seems to me that it must be a public key/address of some sort, but I'm unsure.

Thank you!

You are right, if you use the sign command you have to add -m

When signing mints made through candy machine I would recommend using the sign-all command or metaboss though. (See metaboss.rs)
