Make (metadata.Metadata.Make)

Parameters

module _ : CharEncoding.T

Signature

exception Invalid

Raised when the metadata is not valid.

type metadata = (string * string) list

Metadata are represented as association lists (name, value).

type bigarray =
  (char, Stdlib.Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt, Stdlib.Bigarray.c_layout)
    Stdlib.Bigarray.Array1.t

Bigarray representation of (large) tags.

type parser_handler = {

label : string;
length : int;
read : unit -> string;
read_ba : (unit -> bigarray) option;
skip : unit -> unit;

}

When used, a custom parser can override the default parsing mechanism. It is passed the metadata label (without normalization), the expected length of the data, a regular read function an an optional bigarray read function. The custom parser can call any of the read function to get the corresponding tag's value. After doing so, the tag is ignored by the regular parsing process.

Currently only supported for: ID3v2, MP4 and metadata_block_picture in FLAC metadata.

type custom_parser = parser_handler -> unit
