Classes
class	Exiv2::Key
	Abstract base class defining the Key of a metadatum. Keys are used to identify and group metadata. More...

class	Exiv2::Metadatum
	Abstract base class defining the interface to access information related to one metadata tag. More...

Namespaces
	Exiv2
	Provides classes and functions to encode and decode Exif and Iptc data. The libexiv2 API consists of the objects of this namespace.

Functions
std::ostream &	Exiv2::operator<< (std::ostream &os, const Key &key)
	Output operator for Key types.

std::ostream &	Exiv2::operator<< (std::ostream &os, const Metadatum &md)
	Output operator for Metadatum types, writing the interpreted tag value.

EXIV2API bool	Exiv2::cmpMetadataByTag (const Metadatum &lhs, const Metadatum &rhs)
	Compare two metadata by tag. Return true if the tag of metadatum lhs is less than that of rhs.

EXIV2API bool	Exiv2::cmpMetadataByKey (const Metadatum &lhs, const Metadatum &rhs)
	Compare two metadata by key. Return true if the key of metadatum lhs is less than that of rhs.
