Is it possible to dump the tag DB? or specific tags?

[redir]

Curious if there is a way to look up the type of a tag like to tell me what type that value is.

Like:

exiftool -some -options -IPTC:DocumentNotes
that would output something like

ID: 230   Name:DocumentNotes   string[0,1024]

Alternatively it would be fine to dump all the fields and grep. It would be nice to not have to go to a web page or PDF to look up the info. However I expect this isn't a feature as its usefulness is dubious. Is anything like this possible?

Thanks

You could possibly parse the tag name documentation.

otherwise, the -listx command comes the closest to what you are requesting:

exiftool -listx -iptc:all

Excellent thanks again, Phil.
