Image::...ol::MNG(3)

πŸ’– Image::ExifTool::MNG πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is Image::...ol::MNG(3), which is what the terminal calls it when it's being extra and truncating things β€” the actual module is Image::ExifTool::MNG. It lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual, and it is exactly the little definitions file that makes MNG and JNG files ✨make sense✨ to ExifTool. No cap. πŸ¦‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

Image::ExifTool::MNG β€” MNG and JNG meta information tags πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so like, you don't call this one directly, babe:

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

She's a supporting character, but lowkey she's carrying the whole plot. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so this module contains definitions required by Image::ExifTool to read these two absolute icons:

  • MNG β€” Multi-image Network Graphics πŸ–ΌοΈ (the moving/animating one, main character energy fr fr)
  • JNG β€” JPEG Network Graphics 🌈 (yes it's real, yes it's gorgeous)

That's it, that's the job. Definitions only. No drama. slay πŸ’–
