Image::...ol::EXE(3)

💖 Image::ExifTool::EXE — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation for Image::...ol::EXE(3) (yes the manual name is literally abbreviated like that, it's giving mystery, we love her). She's a Perl module and she's lowkey a legend. Let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Image::ExifTool::EXE — read executable file meta information 🔍

Like, it goes digging through your binaries and pulls out the lore. Periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

That's it. That's the whole synopsis. She's not a solo artist, she's a featured verse on the Image::ExifTool album 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This module is literally just a big ol' bag of definitions that Image::ExifTool uses to pull meta information out of all kinds of executable and library files — Windows ones, MacOS ones, Unix ones, the whole friend group 🌈

So like, if you were hoping to use this directly and have a cute little standalone time? Nope bestie, she's a supporting character with main character energy. Image::ExifTool is the one driving 🚗💨
