This lets you add +annotations, titles, index terms, etc to your JPEG files, and later retrieve +them as text. COM blocks do not interfere with the image stored in the JPEG +file. The maximum size of a COM block is 64K, but you can have as many of +them as you like in one JPEG file. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-raw +Normally +.B rdjpgcom +escapes non-printable characters in comments, for security reasons. +This option avoids that. +.PP +.B \-verbose +Causes +.B rdjpgcom +to also display the JPEG image dimensions. +.PP +Switch names may be abbreviated, and are not case sensitive. +.SH HINTS +.B rdjpgcom +does not depend on the IJG JPEG library. Its source code is intended as an +illustration of the minimum amount of code required to parse a JPEG file +header correctly. +.PP +In +.B \-verbose +mode, +.B rdjpgcom +will also attempt to print the contents of any "APP12" markers as text. +Some digital cameras produce APP12 markers containing useful textual +information. If you like, you can modify the source code to print +other APPn marker types as well. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR cjpeg (1), +.BR djpeg (1), +.BR jpegtran (1), +.BR wrjpgcom (1) +.SH AUTHOR +Independent JPEG Group
