.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
.B rdjpgcom
|
||
|
|
reads the named JPEG/JFIF file, or the standard input if no file is named,
|
||
|
|
and prints any text comments found in the file on the standard output.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The JPEG standard allows "comment" (COM) blocks to occur within a JPEG file.
|
||
|
|
Although the standard doesn't actually define what COM blocks are for, they
|
||
|
|
are widely used to hold user-supplied text strings. This lets you add
|
||
|
|
annotations, titles, index terms, etc to your JPEG files, and later retrieve
|
||
|
|
them as text. COM blocks do not interfere with the image stored in the JPEG
|
||
|
|
file. The maximum size of a COM block is 64K, but you can have as many of
|
||
|
|
them as you like in one JPEG file.
|
||
|

.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-raw
|
||
|
|
Normally
|
||
|
|
.B rdjpgcom
|
||
|
|
escapes non-printable characters in comments, for security reasons.
|
||
|
|
This option avoids that.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B \-verbose
|
||
|
|
Causes
|
||
|
|
.B rdjpgcom
|
||
|
|
to also display the JPEG image dimensions.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|

Switch names may be abbreviated, and are not case sensitive.
|
||
|
|
.SH HINTS
|
||
|
|
.B rdjpgcom
|
||
|
|
does not depend on the IJG JPEG library. Its source code is intended as an
|
||
|
|
illustration of the minimum amount of code required to parse a JPEG file
|
||
|
|
header correctly.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
In
|
||
|
|
.B \-verbose
|
||
|
|
mode,
|
||
|
|
.B rdjpgcom
|
||
|
|
will also attempt to print the contents of any "APP12" markers as text.
|
||
|
|
Some digital cameras produce APP12 markers containing useful textual
|
||
|
|
information. If you like, you can modify the source code to print
|
||
|
|
other APPn marker types as well.
