Tag Names and Description with one call

[Cactus26]

Currently I'm adding an interface to ExifTool to my Application (Windows, PHOR, see SourceForge). I already succeeded to implement the process handling and interface (stay_active, execute, pipes etc.) and my next goal now is to show all metadata available with exiftool. Currently I tend to retrieve data with options  -t -s -G:0:1:2:... (I have not figured out exactly which Group Families are important for me). But what I have not found yet (Despite the extensive documentation, many thanks!) is a way to get both the tag names and the descriptions with one call. Is there any?

You can get this with the JSON, XML or PHP output (-j, -X or -php) by adding -l.

Thanks for the quick reply! To see first results the tab format is easier for me, but in the long run it probably has different advantages to use json or xml.
