Image::...ol::TNEF(3)

💅 NAME 💅

ok so bestie, gather round: Image::ExifTool::TNEF — that's the whole vibe — is here to read TNEF meta information. that's it, that's the mission. you're literally looking at the manual page for it (Image::ExifTool::TNEF(3), if we're being formal 🎀).

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no cap, the synopsis is short and sweet, because this module doesn't have its own fancy command line or anything:

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

that's the entire synopsis. she's a supporting character, not the main character, and honestly? icon behavior. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓 — this module is basically a little definitions locker. it contains the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs so it can read TNEF files. and TNEF stands for Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format, which is a whole mouthful, so we're just gonna call it TNEF, iykyk.

that's genuinely it — it's a definitions module, not a standalone tool. it's giving backstage crew at the award show. the show would not go on without her. 👑
