<p>These functions let you get at image header data (including metadata) in a
uniform way. </p>
<p>Use <a class="link" href="libvips-header.html#vips-image-get-typeof" title="vips_image_get_typeof ()"><code class="function">vips_image_get_typeof()</code></a> to test for the
existance and <span class="type">GType</span>
of a header field.</p>
<p>You can attach arbitrary metadata to images. Metadata is copied as images
are processed, so all images which used this image as input, directly or
indirectly, will have this same bit of metadata attached to them. Copying
is implemented with reference-counted pointers, so it is efficient, even for
large items of data. This does however mean that metadata items need to be
immutable. Metadata is handy for things like ICC profiles or EXIF data.</p>
<p>Various convenience functions (eg. <a class="link" href="libvips-header.html#vips-image-set-int" title="vips_image_set_int ()"><code class="function">vips_image_set_int()</code></a>) let you easily
attach
simple types like
numbers, strings and memory blocks to images. Use <a class="link" href="libvips-header.html#vips-image-map" title="vips_image_map ()"><code class="function">vips_image_map()</code></a> to loop
over an image's fields, including all metadata.</p>
<p>Items of metadata are identified by strings. Some strings are reserved, for
example the ICC profile for an image is known by convention as
"icc-profile-data".</p>
<p>If you save an image in VIPS format, all metadata (with a restriction, see
below) is automatically saved for you in a block of XML at the end of the
file. When you load a VIPS image, the metadata is restored. You can use the
<code class="literal">vipsedit</code> command-line tool to extract or replace this block of XML.</p>
<p>VIPS metadata is based on <code class="literal">GValue</code>. See the docs for that system if you want
to do fancy stuff such as defining a new metadata type.
VIPS defines a new <code class="literal">GValue</code> called <code class="literal">vips_save_string</code>, a variety of string,
see <a class="link" href="libvips-type.html#vips-value-set-save-string" title="vips_value_set_save_string ()"><code class="function">vips_value_set_save_string()</code></a>.
If your <code class="literal">GValue</code> can be transformed to <code class="literal">vips_save_string</code>, it will be
saved and loaded to and from VIPS files for you.</p>
<p>VIPS provides a couple of base classes which implement
reference-counted areas of memory. If you base your metadata on one of
these types, it can be copied between images efficiently.</p>

<a class="link" href="libvips-generate.html#vips-image-pipelinev" title="vips_image_pipelinev ()"><code class="function">vips_image_pipelinev()</code></a> and then make

<p>This function reads the image history as a C string. The string is owned

<p>VIPS tracks the history of each image, that is, the sequence of operations
