Detailed API

This part of the documentation is auto-generated from the Doxygen format documentation in the libexiv2 “header” files. There are many ways in which the conversion process can fail, so you may need to consult the Exiv2 C++ API documentation as well.

The documentation is split into several pages, one for each module in the Python interface. This makes it easier to use than having all the classes and functions in one document. Do not use the module names in your Python scripts: always use exiv2.name rather than exiv2.module.name or exiv2._module.name.
