💖 Image::ExifTool::7Z 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for Image::ExifTool::7Z — yeah the header calls it Image::...Tool::7Z(3) because manpage headers love to be dramatic and truncate themselves, but it's the same iconic little module, promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Image::ExifTool::7Z — literally just here to read 7z archives 🗜️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. it's not a standalone main character, it's a supporting cast member, and honestly? respect 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this module is the plug for Image::ExifTool — it's got all the definitions that ExifTool needs to go dig around in 7z archives and pull out the meta information hiding in there 🔍

no cap, that's the whole job. it defines stuff so ExifTool can do the actual extracting. it's giving backstage crew at the concert — you don't see it, but nothing happens without it 👑
