Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

View source: R/exif_value.R

This function makes it easy to return the values for a single Exif tag. If you need multiple tag values, it would be more efficient to use exif_df() to extract them all at once.

exif_value(
  files,
  tag,
  fill_value = NA,
  named = TRUE,
  simplify = TRUE,
  silent_errors = FALSE
)

`files`	A character vector containing paths to jpeg files
`tag`	A numeric tag code or character tag name
`fill_value`	A value to return if tag not present
`named`	Should result be named with original file name?
`simplify`	Should result be simplified to a vector (if possible)?
`silent_errors`	If TRUE, no errors are triggered when processing files and the fill_value is used upon failure

A vector or list of tag values
