Image::...Trailer(3)

💅 NAME 💅

Image::ExifTool::Trailer — okay so this is the little module that reads the JPEG trailer that a bunch of phone makes scribble onto your pics ✨. Like, it's the thing that goes "oh, your phone left a note at the end of this file, let me get that for you" 🫶.

This page lives in the perl manual, bestie — it's Perl situation, that's the whole vibe ✨.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Real talk: you don't call this one directly. It's a supporting character.

This module is used by Image::ExifTool

Main character energy is over in Image::ExifTool — this module is the bestie behind the scenes 💅.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what's actually in here? This module holds the definitions that Image::ExifTool needs 🧚 — specifically, the ones that let it read the metadata in the trailer written by some Vivo, OnePlus and Google phones 📱✨.

That's it, that's the whole job. Lowkey iconic, ngl 💖.
