//! RExif is a native Rust create, written to extract EXIF data from JPEG and TIFF images.
//!
//! Note that it is in very early stages of development. Any sort of feedback is welcome!
//!
//! The crate contains a
//! sample binary called 'rexiftool' that accepts files as arguments and prints the EXIF data. It gives
//! a rough idea on how to use the crate. Get some sample images and run
//!
//!
//! `cargo run [image file 1] [image file 2] ...`
//!
//!
//! To learn to use this crate, start by the documentation of function `parse_file()`,
//! and the struct `ExifData` that is returned by the parser. The rest falls more or less into place.
//!
//! Code sample lightly edited from src/bin.rs:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::error::Error;
//!
//! let file_name = "foo.jpg";
//! match rexif::parse_file(&file_name) {
//!     Ok(exif) => {
//!         println!("{} {} exif entries: {}", file_name, exif.mime, exif.entries.len());
//!         for entry in &exif.entries {
//!             println!("\t{}: {}", entry.tag, entry.value_more_readable);
//!         }
//!     },
//!     Err(e) => {
//!         print!("Error in {}: {}", &file_name, e)
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
