Have you looked at 'exiftool'?

NAME
    exiftool - print meta information from image files
 
SYNOPSIS
    exiftool [OPTIONS] [-TAG or --TAG ...] FILE ...
 
DESCRIPTION
    Prints information for specified tags from listed files.  -TAG specifies the
    name of a tag to extract, or --TAG to ignore.  FILE may be an image file
    name, a directory name, or - for the standard input. Currently recognized
    file types are JPG, TIFF, GIF, THM, CRW, CR2, NEF and DNG.

I have it on my RedHat laptop; it was able to return wads of info from
pictures taken with my Olympus D10, including shutter speed and
aperture, which is what I expect you are after.
