💖 Image::...ol::LIF(3) — bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, this page comes from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, and it's all about a lil Perl module. yes, the title up there is doing the truncated-name thing (Image::...ol::LIF), that's just how the man page header renders it — the actual module is Image::ExifTool::LIF, and that's what we're covering. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Image::ExifTool::LIF — Read LIF meta information 👑

Like. that's the whole job. it reads LIF metadata. iconic behavior honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

This module is used by Image::ExifTool 💅

(no cap, that's literally the synopsis — you don't call this one directly, it's a supporting cast member. main character energy by association though.)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea 🍓: this module contains the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs in order to read metadata from Leica Image File (LIF) images.

That's it. That's the whole vibe. it's a definition-holder, a little backstage gremlin making sure your Leica files get their metadata read correctly. not me being obsessed with a table of tag definitions 😭
