  <title>Library to Extract Metadata from Files</title>

  <description>Using libextractor, you can extract metadata from files of arbitrary

types. Supported file formats include HTML, PDF, DVI, PS, MP3, OGG,

WAV, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, RPM, ZIP, TAR, ELF, REAL, RIFF (AVI), MPEG,

QT, and ASF. Also, various additional MIME types are detected.

​

Helper libraries perform the extraction. It is extendable by linking

against external extractors for additional file types.

​

The goal is to provide developers of indexing tools with a universal

library to obtain simple keywords to match against queries.

libextractor contains a shell command "extract" that, similar to the

well-known "file" command, can extract metadata from a file and print

the results to stdout.
