The command "exif --list-tags --no-fixup ${image-jpg}" is using the "exif" tool to extract and display metadata tags from a JPEG image file.
Here's what each part of the command does:
- "exif": It is the name of the command-line tool that is being executed.
- "--list-tags": This parameter instructs the tool to list all the available metadata tags stored in the specified image file. It essentially generates a list of the tags and their corresponding values.
- "--no-fixup": This parameter ensures that the tool does not try to automatically correct any errors or inconsistencies it encounters while parsing the metadata. It prevents the tool from modifying the original file.
- "${image-jpg}": This is a placeholder representing the name or path of the JPEG image file on which the command is being executed. It would be replaced with the actual name or path of the image file when using the command.
By running this command, you will get a list of metadata tags associated with the provided JPEG image. These tags can include information such as the camera make and model, date and time of capture, exposure settings, GPS coordinates, and much more.
