Finnigan::AuditTag -- a decoder for AuditTag, a substructure found in the Finnigan file headers
use Finnigan; my $tag = Finnigan::AuditTag->decode(\*INPUT); say $tag->time;
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.
The constructor method
Get the timestamp
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}.
Returns the timestamp followed by the first tag
Finnigan::FileHeader -- the parent structure
