✨ Image::...BigTIFF(3) ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual set, and it's literally all about Image::...BigTIFF(3). yes the name is giving mysterious ellipsis energy 💅 but we move.

🌸 NAME 🌸

Image::ExifTool::BigTIFF — Read Big TIFF meta information

like... that's the whole job. reading the meta info out of Big TIFF files. no cap. 📸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

short and sweet fr fr. it's not a module you call yourself, it's a supporting character for the main character (that's Image::ExifTool).

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module contains routines required by Image::ExifTool to read meta information in BigTIFF images.

so basically: Image::ExifTool is out here being iconic, and this module is the little helper holding its Starbucks 🫶. the routines in here are what make it possible to dig into BigTIFF images and pull out all the meta information. if you're using Image::ExifTool normally, you'll never have to think about this file. it's lowkey the backstage crew at the Eras Tour — essential, unglamorous, absolutely carrying the show. 💜
