QuickTimeVideo (BasicIo::AutoPtr io)

Constructor for a QuickTime video. Since the constructor can not return a result, callers should check the good() method after object construction to determine success or failure.

Manipulators

void readMetadata ()

Read all metadata supported by a specific image format from the image. Before this method is called, the image metadata will be cleared.

void writeMetadata ()

Write metadata back to the image.

Accessors

std::string mimeType () const

Return the MIME type of the image.

Protected Member Functions

void decodeBlock ()

Check for a valid tag and decode the block at the current IO position. Calls tagDecoder() or skips to next tag, if required.

void tagDecoder (Exiv2::DataBuf &buf, unsigned long size)

Interpret tag information, and call the respective function to save it in the respective XMP container. Decodes a Tag Information and saves it in the respective XMP container, if the block size is small.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Exiv2::QuickTimeVideo::QuickTimeVideo ( BasicIo::AutoPtr io )

Constructor for a QuickTime video. Since the constructor can not return a result, callers should check the good() method after object construction to determine success or failure.

Parameters:

io

An auto-pointer that owns a BasicIo instance used for reading and writing image metadata. Important: The constructor takes ownership of the passed in BasicIo instance through the auto-pointer. Callers should not continue to use the BasicIo instance after it is passed to this method. Use the Image::io() method to get a temporary reference.

Member Function Documentation

void Exiv2::QuickTimeVideo::readMetadata ( ) [virtual]

Read all metadata supported by a specific image format from the image. Before this method is called, the image metadata will be cleared.

This method returns success even if no metadata is found in the image. Callers must therefore check the size of individual metadata types before accessing the data.

Exceptions:

Error

if opening or reading of the file fails or the image data is not valid (does not look like data of the specific image type).

Implements Exiv2::Image.

References Exiv2::Image::clearMetadata(), decodeBlock(), Exiv2::Image::io_, Exiv2::isQTimeType(), mimeType(), Exiv2::strError(), and Exiv2::Image::xmpData_.

void Exiv2::QuickTimeVideo::writeMetadata ( ) [virtual]

Write metadata back to the image.

All existing metadata sections in the image are either created, replaced, or erased. If values for a given metadata type have been assigned, a section for that metadata type will either be created or replaced. If no values have been assigned to a given metadata type, any exists section for that metadata type will be removed from the image.

Exceptions:

Error

if the operation fails

Implements Exiv2::Image.

std::string Exiv2::QuickTimeVideo::mimeType ( ) const [virtual]

Return the MIME type of the image.

Note:: For each supported image format, the library knows only one MIME type. This may not be the most specific MIME type for that format. In particular, several RAW formats are variants of the TIFF format with the same magic as TIFF itself. Class TiffImage handles most of them and thus they all have MIME type "image/tiff", although a more specific MIME type may exist (e.g., "image/x-nikon-nef").

Implements Exiv2::Image.

void Exiv2::QuickTimeVideo::tagDecoder	(	Exiv2::DataBuf &	buf,
		unsigned long	size
	)			`[protected]`

Interpret tag information, and call the respective function to save it in the respective XMP container. Decodes a Tag Information and saves it in the respective XMP container, if the block size is small.

Parameters:

	buf	Data buffer which cotains tag ID.
	size	Size of the data block used to store Tag Information.
