PECoMaTo stands for Picture-Embedded COntents MAnipulation TOol.
It is basically designed to display any kind of information embedded in picture files, as well as checking, filtering, extracting, removing, adding and fixing such information. In other words, it's a metadata processor.
It supports the following file formats: JPEG/JFIF, Adobe PSD and FFO, raw IPTC. And it knows about the following metadata formats: JFIF, IPTC, Exif, Adobe and Fotostation. More file and metadata formats might be supported later: TIFF, etc.
It aims to be portable (see installation section below). One of its main goals is to check the validity of parsed metadata as well as optionally check the strict compliance to official standards. On another hand, it aims to provide ways of fixing broken or not compliant chunks as well as providing general basic functions to manipulate the metadata.

pecomato builds and runs on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows (win32), QNX 6.3.0, Darwin 6.8.5 (MacOS X 10.2.8), BeOS 5 and some Unices (HP-UX, IBM Aix and Sun Solaris). Some other systems will probably be supported later (other Unices or architectures).
pecomato can be installed from the sources or static binary packages or other binary packages like RPM ones. There is no dependency at runtime, and building from the sources requires the minimal GNU ANSI C development tools. See the INSTALL file to know what are the available packages and how to install them.
Simply run pecomato from a console or tty. You can get command-line usage or further information using:
$ pecomato --help
A man page (Unix, GNU/Linux) and a short user guide is also available.
See the TODO file to get a clue about what is planned to be added or fixed.
