Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ AVTiffDataType

Data type identifiers for TIFF tags.

Enumerator
AV_TIFF_BYTE 
AV_TIFF_STRING 
AV_TIFF_SHORT 
AV_TIFF_LONG 
AV_TIFF_RATIONAL 
AV_TIFF_SBYTE 
AV_TIFF_UNDEFINED 
AV_TIFF_SSHORT

◆ AVExifHeaderMode

Enumerator
AV_EXIF_TIFF_HEADER 

The TIFF header starts with 0x49492a00, or 0x4d4d002a.

This one is used internally by FFmpeg.

AV_EXIF_ASSUME_LE 

skip the TIFF header, assume little endian

AV_EXIF_ASSUME_BE 

skip the TIFF header, assume big endian

AV_EXIF_T_OFF 

The first four bytes point to the actual start, then it's AV_EXIF_TIFF_HEADER.

AV_EXIF_EXIF00 

The first six bytes contain "Exif\0\0", then it's AV_EXIF_TIFF_HEADER.

Function Documentation

◆ av_exif_get_tag_name()

const char* av_exif_get_tag_name ( uint16_t  id)

Retrieves the tag name associated with the provided tag ID.

If the tag ID is unknown, NULL is returned.

For example, av_exif_get_tag_name(0x112) returns "Orientation".

◆ av_exif_get_tag_id()

int32_t av_exif_get_tag_id ( const char *  name)

Retrieves the tag ID associated with the provided tag string name.

If the tag name is unknown, a negative number is returned. Otherwise it always fits inside a uint16_t integer.

For example, av_exif_get_tag_id("Orientation") returns 274 (0x0112).

◆ av_exif_set_entry()

int av_exif_set_entry ( void *  logctx,
AVExifMetadata ifd,
uint16_t  id,
enum AVTiffDataType  type,
uint32_t  count,
const uint8_t *  ifd_lead,
uint32_t  ifd_offset,
const void *  value 
)

Add an entry to the provided EXIF metadata struct.

If one already exists with the provided ID, it will set the existing one to have the other information provided. Otherwise, it will allocate a new entry.

This function reallocates ifd->entries using av_realloc and allocates (using av_malloc) a new value member of the entry, then copies the contents of value into that buffer.

◆ av_exif_get_entry()

int av_exif_get_entry ( void *  logctx,
AVExifMetadata ifd,
uint16_t  id,
int  flags,
AVExifEntry **  value 
)

Get an entry with the tagged ID from the EXIF metadata struct.

A pointer to the entry will be written into *value.

If the entry was present and returned successfully, a positive number is returned. If the entry was not found, *value is left untouched and zero is returned. If an error occurred, a negative number is returned.

◆ av_exif_remove_entry()

int av_exif_remove_entry ( void *  logctx,
AVExifMetadata ifd,
uint16_t  id,
int  flags 
)

Remove an entry from the provided EXIF metadata struct.

If the entry was present and removed successfully, a positive number is returned. If the entry was not found, zero is returned. If an error occurred, a negative number is returned.

◆ av_exif_parse_buffer()

int av_exif_parse_buffer ( void *  logctx,
const uint8_t *  data,
size_t  size,
AVExifMetadata ifd,
enum AVExifHeaderMode  header_mode 
)

Decodes the EXIF data provided in the buffer and writes it into the struct *ifd.

If this function succeeds, the IFD is owned by the caller and must be cleared after use by calling av_exif_free(); If this function fails and returns a negative value, it will call av_exif_free(ifd) before returning.

◆ av_exif_write()

int av_exif_write ( void *  logctx,
const AVExifMetadata ifd,
AVBufferRef **  buffer,
enum AVExifHeaderMode  header_mode 
)

Allocates a buffer using av_malloc of an appropriate size and writes the EXIF data represented by ifd into that buffer.

Upon error, *buffer will be NULL. The buffer becomes owned by the caller upon success. The *buffer argument must be NULL before calling.

◆ av_exif_free()

void av_exif_free ( AVExifMetadata ifd)

Frees all resources associated with the given EXIF metadata struct.

Does not free the pointer passed itself, in case it is stack-allocated. The pointer passed to this function must be freed by the caller, if it is heap-allocated. Passing NULL is permitted.

◆ av_exif_ifd_to_dict()

int av_exif_ifd_to_dict ( void *  logctx,
const AVExifMetadata ifd,
AVDictionary **  metadata 
)

Recursively reads all tags from the IFD and stores them in the provided metadata dictionary.

◆ av_exif_clone_ifd()

AVExifMetadata* av_exif_clone_ifd ( const AVExifMetadata ifd)

Allocates a duplicate of the provided EXIF metadata struct.

The caller owns the duplicate and must free it with av_exif_free. Returns NULL if the duplication process failed.

◆ av_exif_matrix_to_orientation()

int av_exif_matrix_to_orientation ( const int32_t matrix)

Convert a display matrix used by AV_FRAME_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX into an orientation constant used by EXIF's orientation tag.

Returns an EXIF orientation between 1 and 8 (inclusive) depending on the rotation and flip factors. Returns 0 if the matrix is singular.

◆ av_exif_orientation_to_matrix()

int av_exif_orientation_to_matrix ( int32_t matrix,
int  orientation 
)

Convert an orientation constant used by EXIF's orientation tag into a display matrix used by AV_FRAME_DATA_DISPLAYMATRIX.

Returns 0 on success and negative if the orientation is invalid, i.e. not between 1 and 8 (inclusive).
