README
go-exiftool
go-exiftool is a golang library that wraps ExifTool.
ExifTool's purpose is to extract and update as much metadata as possible (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, GPS, ...) from a lots of differents file types (Office documents, pictures, movies, PDF, ...).
go-exiftool uses ExifTool's stay_open feature to optimize performance.
Requirements
go-exiftool needs ExifTool to be installed.
- On Debian :
sudo apt-get install exiftool
By default, go-exiftool binary will look for exiftool binary in $PATH, but another location can be specified (see SetExiftoolBinaryPath functional option).
Usage
Metadata extraction
et, err := exiftool.NewExiftool()
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Error when intializing: %v\n", err)
return
}
defer et.Close()
fileInfos := et.ExtractMetadata("testdata/20190404_131804.jpg")
for _, fileInfo := range fileInfos {
if fileInfo.Err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Error concerning %v: %v\n", fileInfo.File, fileInfo.Err)
continue
}
for k, v := range fileInfo.Fields {
fmt.Printf("[%v] %v\n", k, v)
}
}
