#include <metadata_extractor.h>

Overview

The Metadata Extractor API allows you to extract the metadata from a media. To extract a particular type of metadata(metadata_extractor_attr_e), create/destroy the handle(metadata_extractor_create()/metadata_extractor_destroy). To set the path for extracting, and call metadata_extractor_get_metadata().

Functions

int	metadata_extractor_set_buffer (metadata_extractor_h metadata, const void *buffer, int size)
	Sets the buffer to extract.
int	metadata_extractor_destroy (metadata_extractor_h metadata)
	Destroys metadata.
int	metadata_extractor_get_metadata (metadata_extractor_h metadata, metadata_extractor_attr_e attribute, char **value)
