-## The `prefix` attribute
+## Attributes
+### `prefix`
 
 You can add `#[prefix = "my_prefix/"]` to the `RustEmbed` struct to add a prefix
 to all of the file paths. This prefix will be required on `get` calls, and will
 be included in the file paths returned by `iter`.
 
+### `metadata_only`
+
+You can add `#[metadata_only = true]` to the `RustEmbed` struct to exclude file contents from the
+binary. Only file paths and metadata will be embedded.
