Detailed Description

Value for an Exif comment.

This can be a plain Ascii string or a multipe byte encoded string. The comment is expected to be encoded in the character set indicated (default undefined), but this is not checked. It is left to caller to decode and encode the string to and from readable text if that is required.

Member Function Documentation

◆ comment()

std::string Exiv2::CommentValue::comment ( const char *  encoding = 0) const

Return the comment (without a charset="..." prefix)

The comment is decoded to UTF-8. For Exif UNICODE comments, the function makes an attempt to correctly determine the character encoding of the value. Alternatively, the optional encoding parameter can be used to specify it.

Parameters
encodingOptional argument to specify the character encoding that the comment is encoded in, as an iconv(3) name. Only used for Exif UNICODE comments.
Returns
A string containing the comment converted to UTF-8.

◆ copy()

long Exiv2::CommentValue::copy ( byte buf,
ByteOrder  byteOrder 
) const
virtual

Write value to a character data buffer.

The user must ensure that the buffer has enough memory. Otherwise the call results in undefined behaviour.

Note
The byte order is required by the interface but not used by this method, so just use the default.
Parameters
bufData buffer to write to.
byteOrderByte order. Not used.
Returns
Number of characters written.

Reimplemented from Exiv2::StringValueBase.

◆ detectCharset()

const char* Exiv2::CommentValue::detectCharset ( std::string &  c) const

Determine the character encoding that was used to encode the UNICODE comment value as an iconv(3) name.

If the comment c starts with a BOM, the BOM is interpreted and removed from the string.

Todo: Implement rules to guess if the comment is UTF-8 encoded.

◆ read()

int Exiv2::CommentValue::read ( const std::string &  comment)
virtual

Read the value from a comment.

The format of comment is:
[charset=["]Ascii|Jis|Unicode|Undefined["] ]comment
The default charset is Undefined.

Returns
0 if successful
1 if an invalid character set is encountered
