NAME

       epinfo  -  extract  technical information from digital camera generated
       files

SYNOPSIS

       epinfo [-h] [-V] [-z] [-r] [-t] [-f fmt] [-T <TagName>] <filename>  ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  extracts the contents of TIFF directory of Exif files or
       APP12 marker from JFIF files, parses it and  optionaly  finds  specific
       data  inside  it.   If  used  without  -T, -r and -t options, dumps the
       complete block data in human readable format.  With -r and -t  options,
       renames and changes timestamp of the files.

OPTIONS

       -h   This option produces a help screen of all options and commands.

       -V   This option prints software revision information.

       -z   This option sets no time-zone processing mode.  Use this option if
            the camera’s clock is set up shifted by the local timezone  offset
            (as it is when you set it manually to the local time).

       -r   Rename  files,  generating  new name based on the time of snapshot
            and -f option value.

       -t   Set timestamp of the files to the time of snapshots.

       -f timeformat
            This  option  allows  to  specify  the  format  for  automatically
            generated image file names; the value is used as the format string
            for  strftime(3)  function.   By  default,  names  of  the  format
            "MMDD_NNN.jpg"  are  generated,  where MM is a month, DD is a day,
            and NNN is a count starting from 001.  A good starting  point  for
            the  timeformat  value  could  be "%Y_%m_%d-%H_%M_%S.jpg".  If the
            format string contains context "%%XXXd" where XXX are  digits,  it
            is  taken  for  the  count,  i.e.  if  the  file with such name is
            present, next count is tried.   If  the  format  string  does  not
            contain  "%%XXXd" part, the count field, if necessary, is appended
            at the end of the name.

            A few single-character formats are used as shortcuts.   "x"  makes
            the  name  of  seconds  since  the  epoch in hexadecimal format (8
            characters + ".jpg"),  "d"  -  the  same  in  decimal  format  (10
            characters),  "1"  stands for default format "%m%d_%%03d.jpg", "2"
            stands     for     "%y%m%d%%02d.jpg",     "3"      stands      for
            "%Y_%m_%d-%H_%M_%S.jpg"  and 4 stands for "%Y/%m/%d/%H_%M_%S.jpg".
            The  program  attempts  to  create  intermediate  directories   is
            necessary (and possible).

       -T <TagName>
            Output  the  value of this keyword in the information block.  Note
            that keywords are case sensitive.  TagName  DateTime  has  special
            meaning: if the file is Exif, it just prints the value of DateTime
            tag, and if the format is old  APP12,  it  outputs  the  value  of
            TimeDate tag in the same format as Exif DateTime.

ARGUMENTS

       <filename> ...
            List of filenames to process.

EXAMPLES

       % epinfo -f3 -rt pic00001.jpg

       % epinfo -T FNumber 0512_003.jpg
