Adding IPTC data to images

Is there a command line utility which will add IPTC data to JPEG images,
without recompressing them?

I tried Imagemagick with the following command, but I'm not sure if this
works:

convert picture.jpg +profile 8BIM +comment -profile 8BIMTEXT:iptc.txt
picture1.jpg

where iptc.txt is the following:

8BIM#1028="IPTC"
2#120#Caption="Fruit stalls, India, Rajasthan, Jaipur"
2#105#Headline="Fruit stalls, India, Rajasthan, Jaipur"
2#80#Byline="Alfred Molon"
2#5#Image Name="Fruit stalls, India, Rajasthan, Jaipur"

I don't know about command line, but IrfanView will let you edit IPTC in
batch mode. All changes are lossless, since it's written to the
metadata areas of the file and the images aren't actually altered.
