The exiftags utility spits out Exif tags from a digital camera JPEG file.
exifcom displays and writes the UserComment Exif tag in a JPEG file.  See
the included man pages for usage and more information.  If you want to
read the man pages before installing, just do:

    nroff -man exiftags.1 | more
    nroff -man exifcom.1 | more

To build the programs, type:

    make

To install them (defaults to a prefix of /usr/local):

    make install

Included are Visual Studio workspace and project files which should
be sufficient for building under Windows.  To install, just copy
exiftags.exe and exifcom.exe to some directory in your path
(c:\windows\system32 usually works).

It should build fine on FreeBSD, Linux, and Solaris using gcc; on Windows
using Visual C++ 6.0 (and probably others).  It's reported to compile
fine on Mac OS X.  Portability patches are welcomed.  You might have
problems with the use of u_int16_t and u_int32_t.  If so, see exif.h.

Feel free to use the source within the confines of its BSD license.  Note
that I do not wish it to be re-licensed under some other Open Source
license (e.g., GPL).  I would be interested to know if you use parts of
this program in your own and any thoughts you might have on its
improvement.

If you know how to decode unsupported maker note data or are able to
procure definitive information from a manufacturer, I'd love to hear
from you.

Please report bugs, incompatibilities, successes, etc. to
emj@postal.net.  The latest version of this software will be posted
at http://johnst.org/sw/exiftags/.
