My objective is to create Metadata XMP files on the fly with images within directories and subdirectories, and add the description tag as "_null".
I dont really know where to start, i read the documentation but doesnt seem to indicate how to add a tag to the outputted XML file.

The command to do this is:

exiftool -srcfile %d%f.xmp -description="_null" -r DIR

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
