EnumTags(string,int) Method

Summary

Enumerates all the tags in a file.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Python

public void EnumTags( 
   string fileName, 
   int pageNumber 
)

- (BOOL)enumerateTagsInFile:(NSString *)file  
                 pageNumber:(NSInteger)pageNumber  
                   callback:(void (^)(LTCodecsEnumTagsEventArgs *tagInfo))handler  
                      error:(NSError **)error

public: 
void EnumTags(  
   String^ fileName, 
   int pageNumber 
)

def EnumTags(self,fileName,pageNumber):

Parameters

fileName
A String containing the input file name.

pageNumber
1-based index of the page from which to enumerate the tags.

Remarks

This method will fire the TagFound event for each tag found in the file.

Currently, only TIFF and Exif files contain tags.

For multipage TIFF files, you can enumerate the tags from a particular page. Specify the page number which has the tags to be enumerated.

This method enumerates the standard TIFF tags and the user tags. Standard TIFF tags are less than 32767. User TIFF tags are usually between 32768 and 65535.

To enumerate the tags stored in a stream, use EnumTags.

To read a tag value, use ReadTag and to read all the tags in a file, use ReadTags.

For general information about TIFF tags, refer to Implementing TIFF Comments and Tags.

Do not attempt to use DeleteTag to delete tags from inside the TagFound event. If you want to delete tags that you enumerate, use this event to add the tags to a list. Upon returning from EnumTags, you can delete all the tags from the list.

You can use TagsSupported to determine whether a certain file format supports tags.

Example

This example will show all the tags in the give file, read them then saves them to another file
