Public Member Functions

Accessors
XmpArrayType xmpArrayType () const
 Return XMP array type, indicates if an XMP value is an array.
 
XmpStruct xmpStruct () const
 Return XMP struct, indicates if an XMP value is a structure.
 
size_t size () const override
 Return the size of the value in bytes.
 
size_t copy (byte *buf, ByteOrder byteOrder=invalidByteOrder) const override
 Write value to a character data buffer. More...
 
- Public Member Functions inherited from Exiv2::Value
 Value (TypeId typeId)
 Constructor, taking a type id to initialize the base class with.
 
virtual ~Value ()=default
 Virtual destructor.
 
virtual int setDataArea (const byte *buf, size_t len)
 Set the data area, if the value has one by copying (cloning) the buffer pointed to by buf. More...
 
TypeId typeId () const
 Return the type identifier (Exif data format type).
 
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.
 
virtual size_t count () const =0
 Return the number of components of the value.
 
virtual std::ostream & write (std::ostream &os) const =0
 Write the value to an output stream. You do not usually have to use this function; it is used for the implementation of the output operator for Value, operator<<(std::ostream &os, const Value &value).
 
std::string toString () const
 Return the value as a string. Implemented in terms of write(std::ostream& os) const of the concrete class.
 
virtual std::string toString (size_t n) const
 Return the n-th component of the value as a string. The default implementation returns toString(). The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component.
 
virtual int64_t toInt64 (size_t n=0) const =0
 Convert the n-th component of the value to an int64_t. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component. More...
 
virtual uint32_t toUint32 (size_t n=0) const =0
 Convert the n-th component of the value to a float. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component. More...
 
virtual float toFloat (size_t n=0) const =0
 Convert the n-th component of the value to a float. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component. More...
 
virtual Rational toRational (size_t n=0) const =0
 Convert the n-th component of the value to a Rational. The behaviour of this method may be undefined if there is no n-th component. More...
 
virtual size_t sizeDataArea () const
 Return the size of the data area, 0 if there is none.
 
virtual DataBuf dataArea () const
 Return a copy of the data area if the value has one. The caller owns this copy and DataBuf ensures that it will be deleted. More...
 
bool ok () const
 Check the ok status indicator. After a to<Type> conversion, this indicator shows whether the conversion was successful.
 

Manipulators

void setXmpArrayType (XmpArrayType xmpArrayType)
 Set the XMP array type to indicate that an XMP value is an array.
 
void setXmpStruct (XmpStruct xmpStruct=xsStruct)
 Set the XMP struct type to indicate that an XMP value is a structure.
 
int read (const byte *buf, size_t len, ByteOrder byteOrder=invalidByteOrder) override
 
int read (const std::string &buf) override=0
 Set the value from a string buffer. The format of the string corresponds to that of the write() method, i.e., a string obtained through the write() method can be read by this function. More...
 
static XmpArrayType xmpArrayType (TypeId typeId)
 Return XMP array type for an array Value TypeId, xaNone if typeId is not an XMP array value type.

Member Function Documentation

◆ copy()

size_t Exiv2::XmpValue::copy ( byte buf,
ByteOrder  byteOrder = invalidByteOrder 
) const
overridevirtual

Write value to a character data buffer.

The user must ensure that the buffer has enough memory. Otherwise the call results in undefined behaviour.

Note
The byte order is required by the interface but not used by this method, so just use the default.
Parameters
bufData buffer to write to.
byteOrderByte order. Not used.
Returns
Number of characters written.

Implements Exiv2::Value.

◆ read() [1/2]

int Exiv2::XmpValue::read ( const byte buf,
size_t  len,
ByteOrder  byteOrder = invalidByteOrder 
)
overridevirtual

◆ read() [2/2]

int Exiv2::XmpValue::read ( const std::string &  buf)
overridepure virtual

Set the value from a string buffer. The format of the string corresponds to that of the write() method, i.e., a string obtained through the write() method can be read by this function.

Parameters
bufThe string to read from.
Returns
0 if successful.

Implements Exiv2::Value.

Implemented in Exiv2::LangAltValue, Exiv2::XmpArrayValue, and Exiv2::XmpTextValue.
