//! This library provides a Rust wrapper around the [gexiv2][gexiv2] library,
//! which is itself a GObject-based wrapper around the [Exiv2][exiv2] library,
//! which provides read and write access to the Exif, XMP, and IPTC metadata
//! for media files in various formats.
//!
//! Most functionality is exposed through methods on the [`Metadata`][struct-meta] type.
//!
//! ## Usage
//! A typical use of the library might look something like this:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! let file = "myimage.jpg";
//! let tag = "Iptc.Application2.Keywords";
//! let meta = rexiv2::Metadata::new_from_path(&file).unwrap();
//! println!("{:?}", meta.get_tag_multiple_strings(tag));
//! ```
