NAME

       im_jpeg2vips, im_vips2jpeg, im_vips2bufjpeg, im_vips2mimejpeg - convert
       JPEG images to and from VIPS format

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vips/vips.h>

       int im_jpeg2vips( char *filename, IMAGE *out )

       int im_vips2jpeg( IMAGE *in, char *filename )

       int im_vips2bufjpeg( IMAGE *in, IMAGE *base, char **obuf, int *olen )

       int im_vips2mimejpeg( IMAGE *in )

DESCRIPTION

       im_jpeg2vips(3) reads  the  named  jpeg  file  and  writes  it  to  the
       specified IMAGE. The entire image is read before returning. It can read
       most 8-bit JPEG images, including CMYK.

       You can embed options in the filename. They have the form:

         filename.jpg:<shrink-factor>,<fail>

       shrink-factor will shrink the image by that factor during read. Allowed
       values  are  1,  2,  4 and 8. Shrinking during read is very much faster
       than decompressing the whole image and then shrinking. Example:

         fred.jpg:8

       will return fred.jpg shrink by a factor of 8.

       fail makes the JPEG reader fail on any warnings. This can be useful for
       detecting truncated files, for example. Normally reading these produces
       a warning, but no fatal error.  Example:

         fred.jpg:,fail

       will read fred.jpg, failing with a fatal error if  the  file  has  been
       truncated.

       Any embedded ICC profiles are ignored: you always just get the RGB from
       the file. Instead, the embedded profile will be attached to  the  image
       as  metadata.   You  need to use something like im_icc_import(3) to get
       CIE values from the file. Any  EXIF  data  is  also  attached  as  VIPS
       metadata.

       im_vips2jpeg(3)  writes  the  IMAGE to filename in JPEG format. It uses
       the default settings of the IJG library.

       A compression factor may be  encoded  in  the  filename:  for  example,
       "fred.jpg"  will  write  with  the  default  compression  factor  (75),
       "fred.jpg:25" will write with factor 25.

       An   ICC   profile   may    also    be    specified.    For    example,
       "fred.jpg:,/home/john/srgb.icc"  will  embed  the profile stored in the
       file "/home/john/srgb.icc" into the JPEG image. This  does  not  affect
       the pixels which are written, just the way they are tagged. You can use
       the special string "none" to mean "don’t attach a profile".

       If no profile is specified in the  save  string  and  the  VIPS  header
       contains  an  ICC  profile named IM_META_ICC_NAME ("icc-profile-data"),
       the profile from the VIPS header will be attached.

       The image is automatically converted to RGB, Monochrome or CMYK  before
       saving.   Any  metadata  attached  to  the  image  is saved as EXIF, if
       possible.

       im_vips2bufjpeg(3) returns the compressed image in a memory buffer. The
       buffer  is allocated for you, local to IMAGE descriptor base.  The size
       of the allocated buffer is returned in  the  olen  parameter.  You  are
       responsible for freeing the buffer. The buffer is only allocated if the
       function returns successfully.

       im_vips2mimejpeg(3) writes the image to stdout  as  a  MIME  image/jpeg
       type.  It  outputs  Content-Length  and  Content-Type fields making the
       result suitable for sending to a web browser.
