💅 Image::ExifTool::Protobuf

okay so bestie, welcome to the little corner of the ExifTool universe that handles protocol buffers — the <lavender>Image::ExifTool::Protobuf</lavender> module, to be exact. She's not here for drama, she's here to decode protobuf info, and honestly? Iconic behaviour. ✨

🌸 NAME

Image::ExifTool::Protobuf — decode protocol buffer information 💖 That's literally her whole thing, and she ate. No notes. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS

So here's the vibe: you don't call her, she calls you. 👑

This module is loaded automatically by Image::ExifTool when required.

That's it. That's the whole synopsis. She's a lowkey queen who shows up exactly when Image::ExifTool needs her, and not a second sooner. No manual invocation, no "hey bestie call me" — she's on autopilot and fr fr it works. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION

This module is basically a little treasure chest of definitions that <cyan>Image::ExifTool</cyan> uses to decode info in protocol buffer (aka protobuf) format. 🫶

That's the whole assignment. She provides the definitions, ExifTool does the decoding, and together they're giving main character energy. 🧚 The way this module just... exists so your protobuf data makes sense? Obsessed. 🌈
