Public Types
typedef ExifMetadata::iterator	iterator
	ExifMetadata iterator type.
typedef ExifMetadata::const_iterator	const_iterator
	ExifMetadata const iterator type.

Public Member Functions
Manipulators
Exifdatum &	operator[] (const std::string &key)
	Returns a reference to the Exifdatum that is associated with a particular key. If ExifData does not already contain such an Exifdatum, operator[] adds object Exifdatum(key). More...
void	add (const ExifKey &key, const Value *pValue)
	Add an Exifdatum from the supplied key and value pair. This method copies (clones) key and value. No duplicate checks are performed, i.e., it is possible to add multiple metadata with the same key.
void	add (const Exifdatum &exifdatum)
	Add a copy of the exifdatum to the Exif metadata. No duplicate checks are performed, i.e., it is possible to add multiple metadata with the same key. More...
iterator	erase (iterator pos)
	Delete the Exifdatum at iterator position pos, return the position of the next exifdatum. Note that iterators into the metadata, including pos, are potentially invalidated by this call.
iterator	erase (iterator beg, iterator end)
	Remove all elements of the range beg, end, return the position of the next element. Note that iterators into the metadata are potentially invalidated by this call.
void	clear ()
	Delete all Exifdatum instances resulting in an empty container. Note that this also removes thumbnails.
void	sortByKey ()
	Sort metadata by key.
void	sortByTag ()
	Sort metadata by tag.
iterator	begin ()
	Begin of the metadata.
iterator	end ()
	End of the metadata.
iterator	findKey (const ExifKey &key)
	Find the first Exifdatum with the given key, return an iterator to it.

Accessors
const_iterator	begin () const
	Begin of the metadata.
const_iterator	end () const
	End of the metadata.
const_iterator	findKey (const ExifKey &key) const
	Find the first Exifdatum with the given key, return a const iterator to it.
bool	empty () const
	Return true if there is no Exif metadata.
long	count () const
	Get the number of metadata entries.

Detailed Description

A container for Exif data. This is a top-level class of the Exiv2 library. The container holds Exifdatum objects.

Provide high-level access to the Exif data of an image:

• read Exif information from JPEG files
• access metadata through keys and standard C++ iterators
• add, modify and delete metadata
• write Exif data to JPEG files
• extract Exif metadata to files, insert from these files
• extract and delete Exif thumbnail (JPEG and TIFF thumbnails)

Examples

addmoddel.cpp, exifcomment.cpp, exifdata.cpp, exifprint.cpp, exifvalue.cpp, exiv2json.cpp, geotag.cpp, and mrwthumb.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

add()

void Exiv2::ExifData::add

(

const Exifdatum &

exifdatum

)

Add a copy of the exifdatum to the Exif metadata. No duplicate checks are performed, i.e., it is possible to add multiple metadata with the same key.

Exceptions

Error

if the makernote cannot be created

operator[]()

Exifdatum& Exiv2::ExifData::operator[]

(

const std::string &

key

)

Returns a reference to the Exifdatum that is associated with a particular key. If ExifData does not already contain such an Exifdatum, operator[] adds object Exifdatum(key).

Note

Since operator[] might insert a new element, it can't be a const member function.
