System Group Name:

  libextractor


Full Name:

Description:
------------
  libextractor is a library used to extract meta-data from files of arbitrary
type. It is designed to use helper-libraries to perform the actual extraction,
and to be trivially extendable by linking against external extractors for
additional file types. 

The goal is to provide developers of file-sharing networks or WWW-indexing
bots 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 meta-data from a file an print the
results to stdout. 

Currently, libextractor supports the following formats: HTML, PDF, PS, OLE2
(DOC, XLS, PPT), OpenOffice (sxw), StarOffice (sdw), DVI, MAN, MP3 (ID3v1 and
ID3v2), OGG, WAV, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, DEB, RPM, TAR(.GZ), ZIP, ELF, REAL,
RIFF (AVI), MPEG, QT and ASF. 
 Also, various additional MIME types are detected. 

libextractor is free software and part of the GNU project; you can
redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  libextractor depends on glib, libz, libvorbis and imagemagick (libwand). 
However, except libz those dependencies are optional (i.e. only required to
make libextractor work with certain formats).


Other Comments:
---------------
  libextractor was approved as a GNU project by RMS.
