+[description]
+[para]
+
+The EXIF package is a recoding of Chris Breeze's Perl package to do
+the same thing.  This version accepts a channel as input and returns a
+serialized array with all the recognised fields parsed out.
+
+[para]
+
+There is also a function to obtain a list of all possible field names
+that might be present, which is useful in building GUIs that present
+such information.
+
+[section COMMANDS]
+
+[list_begin definitions]
+
+[call [cmd exif::analyze] [arg channel] [opt [arg thumbnail]]]
+
+[arg channel] should be an open file handle rewound to the start.  It
+does not need to be seekable.  [arg channel] will be set to binary
+mode and is left wherever it happens to stop being parsed, usually at
+the end of the file or the start of the image data.  You must open and
+close the stream yourself.  If no error is thrown, the return value is
+a serialized array with informative English text about what was found
+in the EXIF block.  Failure during parsing or I/O throw errors.
+
+[para]
+
+If [arg thumbnail] is present and not the empty string it will be
+interpreted as the name of a file, and the thumbnail image contained
+in the exif data will be written into it.
+
+[call [cmd exif::analyzeFile] [arg filename] [opt [arg thumbnail]]]
+
+This is a file-based wrapper around [cmd exif::analyze]. Instead of
+taking a stream it takes a [arg filename] and analyzes the contents of
+the specified file.
+
+[call [cmd exif::fieldnames]]
+
+This returns a list of all possible field names.  That is, the array
+returned by [cmd exif::analyze] will not contain keys that are not
+listed in the return from [cmd exif::fieldnames].  Of course, if
+information is missing in the image file, [cmd exif::analyze] may not
+return all the fields listed in the return from exif::fieldnames.
+This function is expected to be primarily useful for building GUIs to
+display results.
+
+[para]
+
+N.B.: Read the implementation of [cmd exif::fieldnames] before
+modifying the implementation of [cmd exif::analyze].
