- DESCRIPTION
- -----------
-
- libiptcdata is a library for manipulating the International Press
- Telecommunications Council (IPTC) metadata stored within multimedia
- files such as images. The library provides routines for parsing,
- viewing, modifying, and saving this metadata. The library is licensed
- under the GNU Library General Public License (GNU LGPL).
-
- The library implements the standard described at http://www.iptc.org/IIM
-
- The code itself was inspired by the libexif library:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/libexif, written by Lutz M├╝ller.
- Together, libexif and libiptcdata provide a complete metadata
- solution for image files.
-
- LIMITATIONS
- -----------
-
- The current implementation of libiptcdata only supports extracting IPTC
- data from JPEG files (although it can decode raw IPTC data from any
- source as long as your application provides the data directly). The
- format for storing IPTC in JPEG files is a de-facto standard developed
- by Adobe.
