img_load_file()

Arguments:

ilib

A handle for the image library, returned by img_lib_attach().

path

The full path to the file from which the data can be read.

callouts

A pointer to an img_decode_callouts_t structure that provides system callouts for the decoder. If you specify NULL for this value, a set of default callouts is supplied.

img

The address of an img_t structure the function fills in with information about the decoded frame.

You can override elements, such as the format, before the call to img_load_file():

img.format = IMG_FMT_G8;
img.flags |= IMG_FORMAT;

img_load_file(...);

In the above example, because the format is set before the load occurs, the libimg will force the loaded image into IMG_FMT_G8 format, regardless of the actual source image format.

Library:

libimg

Use the -l img option to qcc to link against this library.

Description:

This function decodes a frame from a file on the filesystem. This function decodes only the first frame encountered.

If you want to resize a file when it's loaded, use img_load_resize_file().

Returns:

IMG_ERR_OK

Success

IMG_ERR_CORRUPT

Invalid data encountered in the file, preventing the decode from proceeding. Some of the frame may be intact.

IMG_ERR_DLL

An error occurred processing the DLL that handles the file type. Check to make sure that the DLL is not missing or corrupt.

IMG_ERR_FILE

Error accessing path (errno is set).

IMG_ERR_FORMAT

No appopriate codec could be found. The codec you require could be missing or corrupt, or the file could be corrupt.

IMG_ERR_INTR

Decode was interrupted by application.

IMG_ERR_MEM

Memory-allocation failure.

IMG_ERR_NODATA

No frame data was present. This error is highly unlikely, as files generally contain at least one frame.

IMG_ERR_NOSUPPORT

Output data not supported; the codec and application could not agree on an output format.

IMG_ERR_TRUNC

Premature end of file encountered. Some of the frame may be intact.
