NAME

Finnigan::AuditTag -- a decoder for AuditTag, a substructure found in the Finnigan file headers

SYNOPSIS

use Finnigan;
my $tag = Finnigan::AuditTag->decode(\*INPUT);
say $tag->time;

DESCRIPTION

AuditTag is a structure with uncertain purpose that contains a timestamp in Windows format and a pair of text tags. These tags seem to carry the user ID of the person who created the files. Additionally, there is a long integer, possibly carrying the CRC-32 sum of the data file or a portion of it.

METHODS

decode($stream)

The constructor method

time

Get the timestamp

tag1

Get the value of the first tag. The second tag was found to be identical in all cases studied, so there is no tag2 accessor, but its value can be accessed as $obj->{data}->{"tag[2]"}->{value}.

stringify

Returns the timestamp followed by the first tag
