◆ decode()

static ByteOrder Exiv2::TiffParser::decode	(	ExifData &	exifData,
		IptcData &	iptcData,
		XmpData &	xmpData,
		const byte *	pData,
		uint32_t	size
	)

static

Decode metadata from a buffer pData of length size with data in TIFF format to the provided metadata containers.

Parameters

exifData	Exif metadata container.
iptcData	IPTC metadata container.
xmpData	XMP metadata container.
pData	Pointer to the data buffer. Must point to data in TIFF format; no checks are performed.
size	Length of the data buffer.

Returns: Byte order in which the data is encoded.

◆ encode()

static WriteMethod Exiv2::TiffParser::encode	(	BasicIo &	io,
		const byte *	pData,
		uint32_t	size,
		ByteOrder	byteOrder,
		const ExifData &	exifData,
		const IptcData &	iptcData,
		const XmpData &	xmpData
	)

static

Encode metadata from the provided metadata to TIFF format.

The original binary image in the memory block pData, size is parsed and updated in-place if possible ("non-intrusive" writing). If that is not possible (e.g., if new tags were added), the entire TIFF structure is re-written to the io instance ("intrusive" writing).
The return value indicates which write method was used. If it is wmNonIntrusive, the original memory pData, size contains the result and nothing is written to io. If the return value is wmIntrusive, a new TIFF structure was created and written to io. The memory block pData, size may be partly updated in this case and should not be used anymore.

Note: If there is no metadata to encode, i.e., all metadata containers are empty, then the return value is wmIntrusive and nothing is written to io, i.e., no TIFF header is written.

Parameters

io	IO instance to write the binary image to in case of "intrusive" writing. Nothing is written to io in the case of "non-intrusive" writing.
pData	Pointer to the binary image data buffer. Must point to data in TIFF format; no checks are performed. Will be modified if "non-intrusive" writing is possible.
size	Length of the data buffer.
byteOrder	Byte order to use.
exifData	Exif metadata container.
iptcData	IPTC metadata container.
xmpData	XMP metadata container.

Returns: Write method used.
