Constructor

VipsImagenew_from_buffer

Declaration [src]

VipsImage*
vips_image_new_from_buffer (
  void* buf,
  size_t len,
  const char* option_string,
  ...
)

Description [src]

Loads an image from the formatted area of memory buf, len using the loader recommended by vips_foreign_find_load_buffer(). To load an unformatted area of memory, use vips_image_new_from_memory().

VIPS does not take responsibility for the area of memory, it’s up to you to make sure it’s freed when the image is closed. See for example VipsObject::close.

Load options may be given in option_string as [name=value,...] or given as a NULL-terminated list of name-value pairs at the end of the arguments. Options given in the function call override options given in the filename.

::: seealso vips_image_write_to_buffer().

Parameters

`buf`	An array of `guint8`
	Image data.
	The length of the array is specified in the `len` argument.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
`len`	`size_t`
	Length of memory buffer.
`option_string`	`const char*`
	Set of extra options as a string.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
	The string is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
`...`	`none`
	`NULL`-terminated list of optional named arguments.

Return value

Returns:	`VipsImage`
	The new `VipsImage`, or `NULL` on error.
	The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
