💖 Image::...Torrent(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to a page straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection — yes that's the manual name, it's giving very "community-maintained, we love her" energy 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Image::ExifTool::Torrent — reading info out of a BitTorrent file, no cap 📂

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so like, plot twist: you don't actually run this yourself, okay?

This module is used by Image::ExifTool.

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she's a supporting character, not the main character 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module is literally holding the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs to read bencoded information from BitTorrent files. 🧚

so when ExifTool wants to peek inside a .torrent file and go "oh slay, bencode, I know her", this is the girl supplying the map. iconic behaviour, honestly.

heads up: this page is tiny by design. it's not a tool you invoke, it's a definition module. if you were waiting for flags and options... there are none, and that's not me gatekeeping, that's just genuinely the whole vibe. no flags, no args, no exit codes. just definitions. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was perl v5.42.1, dated 2026-03-31, and the page itself is Image::...Torrent(3) 🌟 mwah, go read some torrent metadata, you've got this 🍓💖
