Typedefs
typedef struct image_meta_s *	image_meta_h
	The structure type for the Image metadata handle.

The Image Metadata API provides functions that allow to get information about stored image files.

This file contains the image metadata API and related functions to proceed with them. Functions include cloning and destroying the image metadata, getting image metadata such as width, height,
orientation, date taken, title, burst shot id and updating image to DB.

Required Header

#include <media_content.h>

Overview

The Image Metadata API provides functions to get basic information associated with image files:

width
height
date taken (when image was created)
image orientation

For getting the image handle (image_meta_h) from the media information (media_info_h), call media_info_get_image() function.
For getting the information related to image files stored in the device call the respective get functions e.g. to get the width of a image, call image_meta_get_width() function and to get orientation (media_content_orientation_e) of a image, call image_meta_get_orientation() function and so on.
When the image handle is no longer needed, it should be destroyed by calling image_meta_destroy() function.
