7 libexif is a library for parsing, editing, and saving EXIF data. It is
8 intended to replace lots of redundant implementations in command-line
9 utilities and programs with GUIs.
14 libexif supports parsing, editing and saving of EXIF data. In addition, it
15 has gettext support. All EXIF tags described in EXIF standard 2.1
21 libexif is written in plain C and does not require any additional library.
26 Right now, I know of the following frontends to libexif:
27 - exif: A small command-line utility to show EXIF information in JPEG files
28 (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/libexif).
29 - gexif: A GTK+ frontend for editing EXIF data
30 (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/libexif).
31 - gphoto2: A command-line frontend to libgphoto2, a library to access a
32 wide range of digital cameras (http://www.gphoto.org).
33 - gtkam: A GTK+ frontend to libgphoto2 (http://www.topfrose.de).
34 If you would like to migrate your program to use libexif or add EXIF support
35 to it, don't hesitate to contact the authors.
40 libexif includes a 'libjpeg' that is 'educational code to illustrate the
41 syntax of JPEG files'. Please ignore it. It is a bug that it is
42 distributed, but I think it may be useful for other people.
47 libexif has originally been written by Curtis Galloway
48 <curtisg@users.sourceforge.net>. Because of the original design not
49 supporting editing and saving, Lutz Müller <lutz@users.sourceforge.net>
50 rewrote libexif from scratch.
