Inheritance diagram for Exiv2::IptcKey:

Public Types
using	UniquePtr = std::unique_ptr< IptcKey >
	Shortcut for an IptcKey auto pointer.
Public Types inherited from Exiv2::Key
using	UniquePtr = std::unique_ptr< Key >
	Shortcut for a Key auto pointer.

Public Member Functions
Creators
	IptcKey (std::string key)
	Constructor to create an IPTC key from a key string.
	IptcKey (uint16_t tag, uint16_t record)
	Constructor to create an IPTC key from dataset and record ids.
Accessors
std::string	key () const override
	Return the key of the metadatum as a string. The key is of the form 'familyName.groupName.tagName'. Note however that the key is not necessarily unique, e.g., an ExifData may contain multiple metadata with the same key.
const char *	familyName () const override
	Return an identifier for the type of metadata (the first part of the key)
std::string	groupName () const override
	Return the name of the group (the second part of the key). For IPTC keys, the group name is the record name.
std::string	tagName () const override
	Return the name of the tag (which is also the third part of the key)
std::string	tagLabel () const override
	Return a label for the tag.
std::string	tagDesc () const override
	Return a description for the tag.
uint16_t	tag () const override
	Return the tag number.
UniquePtr	clone () const
std::string	recordName () const
	Return the name of the record.
uint16_t	record () const
	Return the record id.
Public Member Functions inherited from Exiv2::Key
virtual	~Key ()=default
	Destructor.
	Key (Key &&)=delete
Key &	operator= (Key &&)=delete
UniquePtr	clone () const
	Return an auto-pointer to a copy of itself (deep copy). The caller owns this copy and the auto-pointer ensures that it will be deleted.
std::ostream &	write (std::ostream &os) const
	Write the key to an output stream. You do not usually have to use this function; it is used for the implementation of the output operator for Key, operator<<(std::ostream &os, const Key &key).

Manipulators
void	makeKey ()
	Set the key corresponding to the dataset and record id. The key is of the form 'Iptc.recordName.dataSetName'.
void	decomposeKey ()
	Parse and convert the key string into dataset and record id. Updates data members if the string can be decomposed, or throws Error.

Additional Inherited Members
Protected Member Functions inherited from Exiv2::Key
	Key (const Key &)=default
Key &	operator= (const Key &)=default
	Assignment operator. Protected so that it can only be used by subclasses but not directly.

Detailed Description

Concrete keys for IPTC metadata.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IptcKey() [1/2]

Exiv2::IptcKey::IptcKey ( std::string  key )

explicit

Constructor to create an IPTC key from a key string.

Parameters

key	The key string.

Exceptions

Error

if the first part of the key is not 'Iptc' or the remaining parts of the key cannot be parsed and converted to a record name and a dataset name.

IptcKey() [2/2]

Exiv2::IptcKey::IptcKey	(	uint16_t	tag,
		uint16_t	record
	)

Constructor to create an IPTC key from dataset and record ids.

Parameters

tag	Dataset id
record	Record id

Member Function Documentation

decomposeKey()

void Exiv2::IptcKey::decomposeKey ( )

protected

Parse and convert the key string into dataset and record id. Updates data members if the string can be decomposed, or throws Error.

Exceptions

Error

if the key cannot be decomposed.

familyName()

const char * Exiv2::IptcKey::familyName ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return an identifier for the type of metadata (the first part of the key)

Implements Exiv2::Key.

groupName()

std::string Exiv2::IptcKey::groupName ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return the name of the group (the second part of the key). For IPTC keys, the group name is the record name.

Implements Exiv2::Key.

key()

std::string Exiv2::IptcKey::key ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return the key of the metadatum as a string. The key is of the form 'familyName.groupName.tagName'. Note however that the key is not necessarily unique, e.g., an ExifData may contain multiple metadata with the same key.

Implements Exiv2::Key.

tag()

uint16_t Exiv2::IptcKey::tag ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return the tag number.

Implements Exiv2::Key.

tagDesc()

std::string Exiv2::IptcKey::tagDesc ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return a description for the tag.

Implements Exiv2::Key.

tagLabel()

std::string Exiv2::IptcKey::tagLabel ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return a label for the tag.

Implements Exiv2::Key.

tagName()

std::string Exiv2::IptcKey::tagName ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return the name of the tag (which is also the third part of the key)

Implements Exiv2::Key.
