DESCRIPTION
       im_printdesc(3) prints the image descriptor pointed by image.
       im_printdesc(3)  exports  the  functions it uses to code and uncode the
       type fields in image headers. The functions which return char *  return
       a static string of the form "<bad Type>" on error,
       The functions which return int return -1 on error, setting im_error(3).
