METHODS

priority

The priority of this reader. Readers with higher priority get tried first.

allowed_file

If this reader can be used for the given file, then this returns true. File must be one of: PDF or an image which is not a GIF. (GIF files need to be treated separately) (Since ExifTool can't write to EPUB, there's no point reading them either.)

known_fields

Returns the fields which this reader knows about.

my $known_fields = $reader->known_fields();

read_meta

Read the meta-data from the given file.

my $meta = $obj->read_meta($filename);

_get_the_real_file

If the file is a directory, look for a cover file. If the file is a soft link, look for the file it is pointing to (because ExifTool behaves badly with soft links).

my $real_file = $writer->_get_the_real_file(filename=>$filename);
