💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Image::ExifTool::RIFF — this is the little module that reads RIFF/AVI/WAV meta information for you. no cap. it's the backstage queen that makes the whole thing work. 👑

(also, the manual page itself is filed under Image::...ol::RIFF(3), which is just the fancy truncated way of saying the same thing. the perl docs are doing their little abbreviation thing, we love her.) ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lowkey the shortest synopsis ever, and honestly? iconic:

This module is used by Image::ExifTool.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she's not here to be called by you directly, she's here to serve the bigger picture. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this module is holding all the routines that Image::ExifTool needs to pull info out of RIFF-based files, which stands for Resource Interchange File Format, iykyk.

and "RIFF-based" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting, because that includes:

  • AVI videos 🎬
  • WAV audio files 🎧
  • WEBP images 🖼️

three whole formats, one module, main character energy fr fr. 💅

sign-off time, bestie 🎀 — this page came from perl v5.42.1, dated 2026-03-31, and it's the Image::...ol::RIFF(3) manual page under User Contributed Perl Documentation. mwah. 💖✨🦋
