Rust FFI declarations for gexiv2

This library provides Rust FFI declarations for the gexiv2 library, which is a GObject-based wrapper around the Exiv2 library, which provides read and write access to the Exif, XMP, and IPTC metadata in media files.

Only FFI declarations are provided here; for a usable Rust library, consider the rexiv2 crate.

Documentation

gexiv2’s APIs may be a useful reference, along with Exiv2’s API docs.

Dependencies

Given that it links to gexiv2, and transitively to Exiv2, gexiv2-sys obviously depends on them. Only the library (e.g. .so or .dll) files are needed; not the headers or source code. You can download these dependencies from their download pages: Exiv2; gexiv2.

On a Linux system, you can typically install these dependencies through your package manager (look for packages with names like “libgexiv2-dev”). Mac OS X users may also have this option through unofficial package management systems. Note that to build gexiv2-sys from source you may need not just the library packages, but the “dev” versions of them as well.
