NAME
       im_binfile,  im_image  -  wrap  a  raw  binary  file  inside  an  IMAGE
       descriptor
SYNOPSIS
       #include <vips/vips.h>
       IMAGE *im_binfile( name, xs, ys, b, off )
       char *in;
       IMAGE *out;
       int xs, ys, b, off;
       IMAGE *
       im_image( void *buffer, int width, int height, int bands, int format )
DESCRIPTION
       im_binfile(3) maps the file named,  and  returns  an  image  descriptor
       which looks very like the sort of thing that im_mmapin(3) returns.
       The  parameters  specify  the  image width, height, number of bands and
       offset in bytes from the start of the file.
       im_image(3) makes an IMAGE deriptor from an area of pixels  in  memory.
       The  memory  buffer  will  not  be  freed when the IMAGE is closed, use
       im_add_close_callback() if you want this.
RETURN VALUE
       The functions return NULL on error.
SEE ALSO
