GraphicsMagick supports decoding and retreiving many EXIF values (see 
documentation for -format in the gm utility documentation), but 
only supports updating one or two parameters (e.g. orientation).

As long as libexif supports decoding and encoding EXIF blobs then it 
may be a good way to go.  The EXIF blob ('profile') can then be 
replaced.

The documentation is not necessarily poor.  It is not replicated again 
at every interface appearance.  The gm utility documentation can help 
quite a lot with understanding the C, C++, Perl, Tcl, etc., 
interfaces.

This project is staffed entirely by unpaid part time volunteers.  The 
project can be improved by submissions from additional volunteers.
