NAME
Image::ExifTool::Fixup - Utility to handle pointer fixups
SYNOPSIS
use Image::ExifTool::Fixup;
$fixup = Image::ExifTool::Fixup->new;
# add a new fixup to a pointer at the specified offset in data
$fixup->AddFixup($offset);
# add a new Fixup object to the tree
$fixup->AddFixup($subFixup);
$fixup->{Start} += $shift1; # shift pointer offsets and values
$fixup->{Shift} += $shift2; # shift pointer values only
# recursively apply fixups to the specified data
$fixup->ApplyFixups(\$data);
$fixup->Dump(); # dump debugging information
$fixup->IsEmpty(); # return true if no offsets to fix
DESCRIPTION
This module contains the code to keep track of pointers in memory and
to shift these pointers as required. It is used by ExifTool to
maintain the pointers in image file directories (IFD's).
NOTES
Keeps track of pointers with different byte ordering, and relies on
Image::ExifTool::GetByteOrder() to determine the current byte ordering
when adding new pointers to a fixup.
Maintains a hierarchical list of fixups so that the whole hierarchy can
be shifted by a simple shift at the base. Hierarchy is collapsed to a
linear list when ApplyFixups() is called.
