How to ADD EXIF information to a JPEG photo

I can strip EXIF data from a JPEG with jhead on Linux:
$ jhead -purejpg photo.jpg

But how can I ADD EXIF information to a JPEG on the
Linux (Ubuntu) command line?

For example, let's say I have photo1.jpg with EXIF data
that I want to also transfer to photo2.jpg.

Is there a Linux command to copy EXIF data from photo1
to photo2?

Something like:
$ copy-exif photo1.jpg photo2.jpg

Thanks for that pointer.

I installed exiftool:
$ sudo apt-get install exiftool

Googling, I found this syntax, which seems to do the trick!
$ /usr/bin/exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile src.jpg -exif:all dst.jpg

I just realized I need to change just the date, so, I'll
see if exiftool can make the EXIF date the same as the
file creation date.

Thanks. It looks like Exiftool is pretty powerful:

$ exiftool -TagsFromFile a.crw --Orientation a.jpg

And, from this, it looks like I can format the date also:

$ exiftool -xmp:dateTimeOriginal="2005:10:23 20:06:34.33-05:00" a.jpg

Have you looked into the EXIF workings of Irfanview? I'm
not sure that I understand your need, but Irfanview has been
a favorite (and trusted) tool of image-mongers for many
years. You might even find the batch features appealing.
