METHODS

allowed_file

If this reader can be used for the given file, then this returns true. This can be used with any file, if the filesystem supports extended attributes. I don't know how to test for that, so I'll just assume "yes".

known_fields

Returns the fields which this reader knows about. This reader has no limitations.

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

read_meta

Read the meta-data from the given file.

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