<h2>LibRaw Objects</h2>
<p>The main LibRaw object (class) is created either without parameters or
with flags determining the object behavior.</p>
<pre>#include "libraw/libraw.h"<br>...<br><br> LibRaw ImageProcessor(unsigned int flags=0);<br>...<br> </pre>
<p>Flags (several flags are combined via operator |, i.e., bitwise OR):</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>LIBRAW_OPTIONS_NO_DATAERR_CALLBACK</strong>: do not set the
standard <a href="#callbacks">file read error handler</a> (standard
handler outputs the error report in stderr).</li>
</ul>
<p>Three groups of methods are used for image processing</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#dataload">Data loading from the RAW file</a></li>
<li><a href="#dcrawemu">Postprocessing functions emulating the dcraw
behavior</a></li>
<li><a href="#dcrawrite">File output functions emulating the dcraw

</ul>
<p>The results of processing are placed in the imgdata field of type <a href="API-datastruct.html">libraw_data_t</a>;
the same data set contains fields that control the postprocessing and
output.</p>
<p><a name="return"></a></p>
<h2>Returned Values</h2>
<p>All LibRaw API functions return an integer number in accordance with the
<a href="API-notes.html#errors">return code convention</a>. Please read
the descriptions of <a href="API-notes.html#errors">this convention</a>
and <a href="#callbacks">LibRaw behavior in cases of fatal errors</a>.</p>
<p><a name="dataload"></a></p>
<h2>Methods Loading Data from a File</h2>
<p><a name="open_datastream"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::open_datastream(LibRaw_abstract_datastream *stream)</h3>
<p>Opens a datastream with RAW data, reads metadata (EXIF) from it, and
fills the following structures:</p>
<ul>
<li>imgdata.idata (<a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_iparams_t">libraw_iparams_t</a>),</li>
<li>imgdata.sizes (<a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_image_sizes_t">libraw_image_sizes_t</a>),</li>
<li>imgdata.color (<a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_colordata_t">libraw_colordata_t</a>),</li>
<li>imgdata.other (<a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_imgother_t">libraw_imgother_t</a>),
and</li>
<li>imgdata.thumbnail (<a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_thumbnail_t">libraw_thumbnail_t</a>).</li>
</ul>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">return
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw
error list</a>) if there has been an error situation within LibRaw.</p>
<p>Before file opening, <a href="#recycle">recycle()</a> is always called;
hence, if several images are processed in the batch mode, there is no need
to call recycle() at the end of each processing cycle.</p>
<p><strong>Input data</strong>: pointer to object, derived from <a href="#datastream">LibRaw_abstract_datastream</a>
class. This object should be initialized and ready to read. This object
should be destroyed in calling application after use.</p>
<p><a name="open_file"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::open_file(const char *filename[,INT64 bigfile_size])</h3>
<h3>Win32 only: int LibRaw::open_file(const wchar_t *filename[,INT64
bigfile_size])</h3>
<p>Creates an <a href="#file_datastream">LibRaw_file_datastream</a> object,
calls <a href="#open_datastream">open_datastream()</a>. If succeed, sets
internal flag which signals to destroy internal datastream object on <a href="#recycle">recycle()</a>.
On failure, just created file_datastream destroyed immediately.</p>
<p>Second optional parameter <strong>bigfile_size</strong> controls
background I/O interface used for file operations. For files smaller than
bigfile_size the <a href="#file_datastream">LibRaw_file_datastream</a>
will be used and the <a href="#bigfile_datastream">LibRaw_bigfile_datastream</a>
otherwise.</p>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">return
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw
error list</a>) if there has been an error situation within LibRaw.</p>
<p><a name="open_buffer"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::open_buffer(void *buffer, size_t bufsize)</h3>
<p>Created an <a href="#buffer_datastream">LibRaw_buffer_datastream</a>
object, calls <a href="#open_datastream">open_datastream()</a>. If
succeed, sets internal flag which signals to destroy internal datastream
object on <a href="#recycle">recycle()</a>. On failure, just created
file_datastream destroyed immediately.</p>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">return
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw

'sample only', suited for Kodak KAI-0340 sensor, you'll need change
open_bayer() params for your data).
<p><a name="unpack"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::unpack(void)</h3>
<p>Unpacks the RAW files of the image, calculates the black level (not for
all formats). The results are placed in imgdata.image.</p>
<p>Data reading is sometimes (not frequently) affected by settings made in
imgdata.params (<a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_output_params_t">libraw_output_params_t</a>);
see <a href="API-notes.html">API notes</a> for details.</p>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">return
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw
error list</a>) if there has been an error situation within LibRaw.</p>
<p><a name="unpack_thumb"></a><a name="unpack_thumb_ex"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::unpack_thumb(void)</h3>
<h3>int LibRaw::unpack_thumb_ex(int i)</h3>
<p></p>
<p>unpack_thumb(): reads (or unpacks) the default (largest) image preview
(thumbnail), placing the result into the imgdata.thumbnail.thumb buffer.</p>
<p>unpack_thumb_ex(int i): reads i-th thumbnail (thumbnails list is
available in imgdata.thumbs_list structure).</p>
<p> JPEG previews are placed into this buffer without any changes (with the
header etc.). Other preview formats are placed into the buffer in the form
of the unpacked bitmap image (three components, 8 bits per component).<br>
The thumbnail format is written to the imgdata.thumbnail.tformat field;
for the possible values, see <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_thumbnail_formats">description
of constants and data structures</a>.</p>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">return
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw

LibRaw test suite designers to use in test coverage evaluation.</p>
<p><a name="setCancelFlag"></a></p>
<h4>void LibRaw::setCancelFlag()</h4>
<p>This call sets internal fast cancel flags. If set, current Raw decoder
will be terminated ASAP. This call is useful if you need to cancel all
LibRaw decoders in multithreaded program (e.g. for fast program
termination or just for cancel current processing).</p>
<p><a name="clearCancelFlag"></a></p>

<ul>
<li>if bit 1 is set: prefer raw_inset_crops[1] </li>
<li>if bit 0 is set: prefer raw_inset_crops[0] </li>
</ul>
<p>maxcrop: limits crop to not less than (original width/height)*maxcrop; if
raw_inset_crops[i] data results in tighter crop, than this item is
ignored. </p>

<ul>
<li>0: no changes made </li>
<li>1: [0]th data used </li>
<li>2: [1]th data used </li>
</ul>
<p>Note: this call SHOULD be used after LibRaw::unpack(), otherwise black
level calculation from masked area may be fooled resulting in wrong black
levels. </p>
<p><a name="floatingpoint"></a></p>
<h4>Support for floating point data</h4>
<p>Libraw can read floating point DNG files (no other RAW formats may use
floating point) with or without conversion to integer data. Floating point
values are stored in imgdata.rawdata buffers:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: monospace;">float * float_image</span> (if
not NULL) points to floating point bayer data</li>
<li><span style="font-family: monospace;">float (*float3_image)[3]</span>
(if not NULL) points to floating point 3-channel buffer</li>
<li><span style="font-family: monospace;">float (*float4_image)[4]</span>
(if not NULL) points to floating point 4-channel buffer</li>
</ul>
<p>Function calls for floating point support:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: monospace;">int LibRaw::is_floating_point();
</span>function will return 1 if file contains floating point data</li>
<li><span style="font-family: monospace;">int LibRaw::have_fpdata();</span>
function will return 1 if FP data has read (decoded) into memory and not
converted to integer data</li>
<li>int LibRaw::convertFloatToInt(float dmin=4096.f, float dmax=32767.f,
float dtarget = 16383.f) converts floating point data to integer. If
data maximum is out of dmin..dmax range, than data scaled to set maximum
to dtarget</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="ycc"></a></p>
<h4>Support for YCC formats (Canon sRAW/mRAW and Nikon Small NEF)</h4>
<pre> int LibRaw::is_sraw();<br> int LibRaw::is_nikon_sraw();<br> int LibRaw::sraw_midpoint()</pre>
<ul>
<li>is_sraw() call returns nonzero if current image is YCC-based.</li>
<li>is_nikon_sraw() call returns nonzero for Nikon Small NEF files</li>
<li>sraw_midpoint() call returns neutral (gray) point for color channels</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="recycle_datastream"></a></p>
<h4>void LibRaw::set_dng_host(void* p)</h4>
<p>If LibRaw is compiled with Adobe DNG SDK support and you wish to use this
support:</p>
<ul>
<li>you need to create own dng_host object</li>
<li>and pass it to LibRaw object using this function</li>
</ul>
<h4>void LibRaw::recycle_datastream(void)</h4>
<p>This call closes input datastream with associated data buffer and
unblocks opened file. <a name="recycle"></a></p>
<h3>void LibRaw::recycle(void)</h3>
<p>Frees the allocated data of LibRaw instance, enabling one to process the
next file using the same processor. Repeated calls of recycle() are quite
possible and do not conflict with anything.</p>
<p><a name="~LibRaw"></a></p>
<h3>LibRaw::~LibRaw()</h3>
<p>Destructor, which consists in calling recycle().</p>
<p><a name="strprogress"></a></p>
<h3>const char* LibRaw::strprogress(enum LibRaw_progress code)</h3>
<p>Converts progress stage code to description string (in English).</p>
<p><a name="libraw_strerror"></a></p>
<h3>const char* LibRaw::strerror(int errorcode)</h3>
<p>Analog of strerror(3) function: outputs the text descriptions of LibRaw
error codes (in English).</p>
<p><a name="callbacks"></a></p>
<h3>Setting Error Notification Functions</h3>
<p>In process of RAW conversion LibRaw can call user-setted callback. This
callback can be used for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dynamic status update (progress bar and so on).</li>
<li>Cancel of processing (for example, user pressed Cancel button).</li>
</ul>
<p>Also, work of the library may cause two types of exceptional situations
that require notification of the calling application:</p>
<ul>
<li>Memory shortage</li>
<li>Data read error.</li>
</ul>
<p>An application may set its own callbacks that will be called in the cases
mentioned above to notify the user (or the calling program).</p>
<p><a name="progress"></a></p>
<h4>Progress indication/processing termination</h4>
<pre> typedef int (*progress_callback)(void *callback_data,enum LibRaw_progress stage, int iteration, int expected);<br> void LibRaw::set_progress_handler(progress_callback func,void *callback_data);<br> </pre>
<p>LibRaw user can set own callback which will be called 10-50 times during
RAW postprocessing by dcraw_process().</p>
<p>This callback may terminate current image processing by returning of
non-zero value. In such case all processing will be cancelled immediately
and all resources will be returned to system by recycle() call. Current
call of dcraw_process() will return error code
LIBRAW_CANCELLED_BY_CALLBACK.</p>
<p>Callback parameters:</p>
<dl>
<dt>void *callback_data</dt>
<dd>void*-pointer, passed as 2nd argument to set_progress_handler(). This
pointer should be used to pass additional data to callback (i.e. thread
local data and so on).</dd>
<dt>enum LibRaw_progress stage</dt>
<dd>Current processing stage. This number can be converted to string by
call to <a href="#strprogress">LibRaw::strprogress</a>. Not all
processing stages are covered by callback calls.</dd>
<dt>int iteration</dt>
<dd>Iteration number within current stage (from 0 to expected-1).</dd>
<dt>int expected</dt>
<dd>Expected number of iterations on current stage.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Callback should return value of: <strong>0</strong> for continue
processing and <strong>non-zero</strong> for immediate cancel of
processing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If LibRaw compiled with OpenMP support, iteration parameter may not
always increase within one stage. Out of order callback calls are

<p>Callback to be called on each parsed EXIF/Makernotes tag with parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>context - pointer to context passed to set_exifparser_handler();</li>
<li>tag - EXIF/Makernotes tag value</li>
<li>type - TIFF(EXIF) tag type</li>

<h4>File Read Error Notifier</h4>
<pre> typedef void (*data_callback)(void *callback_data,const char *file, const int offset);<br> void LibRaw::set_dataerror_handler(data_callback func, void *callback_data); <br> </pre>
<p>The user can define his or her own function to be called in the case of
error in the input data. It is a void function receiving two parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>void *callback_data</strong> - void*-pointer, passed as 2nd
argument to set_progress_handler(). This pointer should be used to pass
additional data to callback (i.e. thread local data and so on).</li>
<li><strong>file</strong> is the name of the RAW file whose processing
evoked the file read error. This name <strong>can be NULL</strong> if
underlying data input layer does not know the name. So, if calling
application sets own callback, this callback should work with NULL file
name.</li>
<li><strong>offset</strong> is -1 at end-of-file (if LibRaw expects more
data) or a positive number equal to the file position (bytes from file
beginning) where the unpacking error occurred.</li>
</ul>
<p>The callback function is intended for information purposes: it notifies
the user or the program code that processing is impossible.</p>
<p>If the user does not set his or her own handler, the standard one (output
of error message in stderr) will be used.</p>
<p>One can set the null handler by passing NULL to set_dataerror_handler;
then no notifier function will be called. The same effect can be achieved
by creating a LibRaw object with the LIBRAW_OPTIONS_NO_DATAERR_CALLBACK
flag in the constructor.</p>
<p>In the case of error in the input data, processing of the current file is
terminated and a notifier is called; all allocated resources are freed,
and <a href="#recycle">recycle()</a> is performed. The current call will
return LIBRAW_IO_ERROR. <br>
At an attempt to continue data processing, all subsequent calls will
return LIBRAW_OUT_OF_ORDER_CALL. Processing of a new file may be started
in the usual way, by calling LibRaw::open_file().</p>

<h2>Data Postprocessing: Emulation of dcraw Behavior</h2>
<p>Instead of writing one's own Bayer pattern postprocessing, one can use
the dcraw functions, which are called after the calls of open_file() +
unpack() /+ unpack_thumb()/</p>
<p><a name="dcraw_params"></a></p>
<h3>Parameter Setting</h3>
<p>Virtually all parameters that can be set through the dcraw command line
are specified by assigning values to fields of the <strong>LibRaw::imgdata.params</strong>
structure. The type of this structure is <strong>libraw_output_params_t</strong>;
all fields are listed and described in sufficient detail in the <a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_output_params_t">description
of data structures</a>.</p>
<p><a name="raw2image"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::raw2image</h3>
<p>This function allocates buffer for postprocessing (imgdata.image) and
fills it with data layout compatible with LibRaw 0.13/0.14 and below. If
the buffer is already allocated, it will be free()ed and allocated again.</p>
<p>This function should be called only if your code do postprocessing stage.
If you use LibRaw's postprocessing calls (see below) you don't need to
call raw2image().</p>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">return
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw
error list</a>) if there has been an error situation within LibRaw.</p>
<p><a name="free_image"></a></p>
<h3>void LibRaw::free_image</h3>
<p>This function releases the imgdata.image buffer allocated by raw2image();</p>
<p>This method should be called if current postprocessing results are not
needed by the program (e.g. already copied somewhere), but new
postprocessing calls (with another settings) are possible, so it is to
early to call <a href="#recycle">recycle()</a>.</p>
<p><a name="adjust_sizes_info_only"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::adjust_sizes_info_only(void)</h3>
<p>The function calculates the correct size of the output image
(imgdata.sizes.iwidth and imgdata.sizes.iheight) for the following cases:</p>
<ul>
<li>Files from Fuji cameras (with a 45-degree rotation)</li>
<li>Files from cameras with non-square pixels</li>
<li>Images shot by a rotated camera.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the aforementioned cases, the function changes the fields of the image
output size; note that this change cannot be repeated again.</p>
<p><a name="dcraw_process"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::dcraw_process(void)</h3>
<p>The function emulates the postprocessing capabilities available in <strong>dcraw</strong>.<br>
Called after calling LibRaw::unpack();</p>
<p>The entire functionality of dcraw (set via the field values in <a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_output_params_t">imgdata.params</a>)
is supported, except for</p>
<ul>
<li>Dark frame subtraction</li>
<li>Work with bad pixels.</li>
</ul>
<p>The function is intended solely for demonstration and testing purposes;
it is assumed that its source code will be used in most real applications
as the reference material concerning the order of RAW data processing.</p>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">error
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw
error list</a>) if there has been an error situation within LibRaw.</p>
<p><a name="dcrawrite"></a></p>
<h2>Data Output to Files: Emulation of dcraw Behavior</h2>
<p>In spite of the abundance of libraries for file output in any formats,
LibRaw includes calls that emulate the file output provided by dcraw. This
is done primarily for easier verification of library work: the resultant
files must be binary identical.</p>
<p><a name="dcraw_ppm_tiff_writer"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::dcraw_ppm_tiff_writer(const char *outfile)</h3>
<p>The function outputs the postprocessing results to a file in the PPM/PGM
or TIFF format (the format is set via imgdata.params.output_tiff). The
results are binary identical to those provided by dcraw.</p>
<p>If "-" is passed as outfile, the function will write to standard output
(stdout).</p>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">error
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw
error list</a>) if there has been an error situation within LibRaw.</p>
<p><a name="dcraw_thumb_writer"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::dcraw_thumb_writer(const char *thumbfile)</h3>
<p>Writes the thumbnail to a file in the PPM format for bitmap thumbnails
and in the JPEG format for JPEG thumbnails, i.e., in the format completely
identical to the results provided by dcraw.</p>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">error
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw
error list</a>) if there has been an error situation within LibRaw.</p>
<p><a name="memwrite"></a></p>
<h2>Copying unpacked data into memory buffer</h2>
<p>There is several function calls for store unpacked data into memory
buffer (after using dcraw_process() and so on):</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>get_mem_image_format</strong> - get resulting bitmap size and
bit depth.</li>
<li><strong>copy_mem_image</strong> - copy postprocessed data into some
memory buffer with different color order and line stride.</li>
<li><strong>dcraw_make_mem_image</strong> - store processed image data
into allocated buffer;</li>
<li><strong>dcraw_make_mem_thumb</strong> - store extracted thumbnail into
buffer as JPEG-file image (for most cameras) or as RGB-bitmap.</li>
</ul>
<p>For usage primer see samples/mem_image.c sample.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a name="get_mem_image_format"></a></p>
<h3>void get_mem_image_format(int *widthp, int *heightp, int *colorsp, int
*bpp) const - return processing bitmap size</h3>
<p>This function returns size of postprocessed image:</p>
<ul>
<li>Image width is returned in *widthp;</li>
<li>Bitmap height is returned in *heightp;</li>
<li>Image color count is returned in *colorsp;</li>
<li>Bits per pixel (8 or 16) is returned in *bpp;</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="copy_mem_image"></a></p>
<h3>int LibRaw::copy_mem_image(void* scan0, int stride, int bgr) - copies
postprocessed bitmap data into buffer</h3>
<p>Function parameters:</p>
<ul>
<li>void *scan0 - pointer to buffer to copy data to. The buffer should be
at least stride*image_height bytes;</li>
<li>int stride - stride of each other image line (row) in bytes. Usually
image_width*(bit_per_pixel/8)*image_colors, but may be more if you wish
to align image rows to, for example, 8 or 16 or 32 bytes to make CPU
more happy.</li>
<li>int bgr - pixel copy order. RGB if bgr==0 and BGR otherwise.</li>
</ul>
<p>The function returns an integer number in accordance with the <a href="API-notes.html#errors">error
code convention</a>: positive if any system call has returned an error,
negative (from the <a href="API-datastruct.html#LibRaw_errors">LibRaw
error list</a>) if there has been an error situation within LibRaw.</p>
<p><a name="dcraw_make_mem_image"></a></p>
<h3>libraw_processed_image_t *dcraw_make_mem_image(int *errorcode=NULL) -
store unpacked and processed image into memory buffer as RGB-bitmap</h3>
<p>This function allocates memory buffer and stores unpacked-preprocessed
image into this buffer. Function returns allocated structure <a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_processed_image_t">libraw_processed_image_t</a>
with filled fields. Always returns data as RGB bitmap (i.e. <strong>type</strong>
field is equal to LIBRAW_IMAGE_BITMAP).</p>
<p>dcraw_process() should be called before dcraw_make_mem_image();</p>
<p>Returns NULL in case of an error. If caller has passed not-NULL value as
errorcode parameter, than *errorcode will be set to error code according
to <a href="API-notes.html#errors">error code convention</a>.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE!</strong> Memory, allocated for return value will not be
fried at destructor or <strong>LibRaw::recycle</strong> calls. Caller of
dcraw_make_mem_image should free this memory by call to <a href="#dcraw_clear_mem">LibRaw::dcraw_clear_mem()</a>.</p>
<p><a name="dcraw_make_mem_thumb"></a></p>
<h3>libraw_processed_image_t *dcraw_make_mem_thumb(int *errorcode=NULL) -
store unpacked thumbnail into memory buffer</h3>
<p>This function allocates memory buffer and stores thumbnail data in it.
Function returns allocated structure <a href="API-datastruct.html#libraw_processed_image_t">libraw_processed_image_t</a>
with filled fields. For most RAW images allocated structure will contains
JPEG image (i.e. <strong>type</strong> field is equal to
LIBRAW_IMAGE_JPEG). For some cameras with RGB-bitmap thumbnail (Kodak
SLRs) returned structure contains RGB bitmap (<strong>type</strong> field
is equal to LIBRAW_IMAGE_JPEG, see structure description for details).</p>
<p>unpack_thumb() should be called before dcraw_make_mem_thumb();</p>
<p>Returns NULL in case of an error. If caller has passed not-NULL value as
errorcode parameter, than *errorcode will be set to error code according
to <20> <a href="API-notes.html#errors">error code convention</a>.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE!</strong> Memory, allocated for return value will not be
fried at destructor or <strong>LibRaw::recycle</strong> calls. Caller of
dcraw_make_mem_image should free this memory by call to <a href="#dcraw_clear_mem">LibRaw::dcraw_clear_mem()</a>.</p>
<h3>void LibRaw::dcraw_clear_mem(libraw_processed_image_t *)</h3>
<p>This function will free the memory allocated by <strong>dcraw_make_mem_image</strong>
or <strong>dcraw_make_mem_thumb</strong>.</p>
<p>This is static class member, so call syntax should be
LibRaw::dcraw_clear_mem(...).</p>
<p>This call translates directly to free() system function, but it is better
to use dcraw_clear_mem because LibRaw (DLL) may be compiled with memory
manager other than in calling application.</p>

<h2>Input layer abstraction</h2>
<p><a name="LibRaw_abstract_datastream"></a></p>
<h3>class LibRaw_abstract_datastream - abstract RAW read interface</h3>
<p>LibRaw reads RAW-data by calling (virtual) methods of C++ object derived
from <strong>LibRaw_abstract_datastream</strong>. This C++ class does not
implement any read, but defines interface to be called. Call to base class
methods always results in error.</p>
<p><a name="datastream_methods"></a></p>
<h4>LibRaw_abstract_datastream class methods</h4>
<p><a name="datastream_methods_utility"></a></p>
<h5>Object verification</h5>
<dl>
<dt><strong> virtual int valid()</strong></dt>
<dd>Checks input datastream validity. Returns 1 on valid stream and 0 if
datastream was created on non-valid input parameters (wrong filename for
file stream and so on).</dd>
</dl>
<p><a name="datastream_methods_read"></a></p>
<h5>Stream read and positioning</h5>
<p>This group of methods implements file object (FILE*) semantics.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>virtual int read(void * ptr,size_t size, size_t nmemb)</strong></dt>
<dd>Similar to fread(ptr,size,nmemb,file).</dd>

<dt><strong>virtual int eof()</strong></dt>
<dd>Similar to feof(file).</dd>
<dt><strong>virtual int scanf_one(const char *fmt, void *val)</strong></dt>
<dd>Simplified variant of fscanf(file,fmt,val): format string is always
contains one argument to read. So, variable args call is not needed and
only one pointer to data passed.</dd>
<dt><strong> virtual int jpeg_src(void * p);</strong></dt>
<dd>Initializes read structures in j_decompress_ptr object passed as *p.
This object is used by libjpeg for JPEG data reading from datastream.
<p>Returns -1 on error and 0 on success.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p><a name="datastream_methods_other"></a></p>
<h5>Other methods</h5>
<p>This group of methods includes several supplementary calls. These calls
are used to temporary switch to another data stream (file and/or memory
buffer).</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>virtual const char* fname()</strong></dt>
<dd>Returns name of opened file if datastream object knows it (for
example, <strong>LibRaw_file_datastream</strong> used). Filename used
in:
<ul>
<li>error notification callbacks;</li>
<li>generation of filename of JPEG-file with metadata when needed
(i.e. cameras with 'Diag RAW hack').</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><strong>virtual int subfile_open(const char *fn)</strong></dt>
<dd>This call temporary switches input to file <strong>fn</strong>.
Returns 0 on success and error code on error.<br>
The function used to read metadata from external JPEG file (on cameras
with "Diag RAW hack"). <br>
This call is not implemented for <a href="#buffer_datastream">LibRaw_buffer_datastream</a>,
so external JPEG processing is not possible when buffer datastream used.
<br>
This function should be implemented in real input class, base class call
always return error. <br>
Working implementation sample can be found in <a href="#file_datastream">LibRaw_file_datastream</a>
implementation in <strong>libraw/libraw_datastream.h</strong> file.</dd>
<dt><strong> virtual void subfile_close()</strong></dt>
<dd>This call switches input stream from temporary open file back to main
data stream.</dd>
<dt><strong> virtual int tempbuffer_open(void *buf, size_t size)</strong></dt>
<dd>This call temporary switches input to <a href="#buffer_datastream">LibRaw_buffer_datastream</a>
object, created from <strong>buf</strong>.<br>
This method is needed for Sony encrypted metadata parser.
<p>This call implemented in base class (<strong>LibRaw_abstract_datastream</strong>),
there is no need to reimplement in in derived classes.<br>
Possible activity of temporary datastream requires very accurate
programming when implementing datastreams derived from base <strong>LibRaw_abstract_datastream</strong>.
See <a href="#substream">below</a> for more details.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong> virtual void tempbuffer_close()</strong></dt>
<dd>This call switch input back from temporary datastream to main stream.
This call implemented in base <strong>LibRaw_abstract_datastream</strong>
class.</dd>
</dl>
<p><a name="datastream_derived"></a></p>
<h3>Derived input classes included in LibRaw</h3>
<p>There is three "standard" input classes in LibRaw distribution:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#file_datastream">LibRaw_file_datastream</a> implements input
from file (in filesystem).</li>
<li><a href="#bigfile_datastream">LibRaw_bigfile_datastream</a> slower
I/O, but files larger than 2Gb are supported.</li>
<li><a href="#buffer_datastream">LibRaw_buffer_datastream</a> implements
input from memory buffer.</li>
</ul>
<p>LibRaw C++ interface users can implement their own input classes and use
them via <a href="#open_datastream">LibRaw::open_datastream</a> call.
Requirements and implementation specifics are described below.</p>
<p><a name="file_datastream"></a></p>
<h4>class LibRaw_file_datastream - file input interface</h4>
<p>This class implements input from file.</p>
<p><strong>Class methods:</strong></p>
<dl>
<dt><strong> LibRaw_file_datastream(const char *fname) </strong></dt>
<dd>This constructor creates <strong>LibRaw_file_datastream</strong>
object from file <strong>fname</strong>.<br>
Unfortunately, C++ constructor cannot return an error. So if bad
filename passed (e.g. nonexistent file) object is created as non-valid
(valid() call returns zero).</dd>
</dl>
<p>All other class methods are <a href="#datastream_methods">described
above</a>.<br>
This class implements all possible methods, including fname() and
subfile_open().</p>
<p><a name="bigfile_datastream"></a></p>
<h4>class LibRaw_bigfile_datastream - file input interface</h4>
<p>This class implements input from file.</p>
<p><strong>Class methods:</strong></p>
<dl>
<dt><strong> LibRaw_bigfile_datastream(const char *fname) </strong></dt>
<dd>This constructor creates <strong>LibRaw_bigfile_datastream</strong>
object from file <strong>fname</strong>.<br>
Unfortunately, C++ constructor cannot return an error. So if bad
filename passed (e.g. nonexistent file) object is created as non-valid
(valid() call returns zero).</dd>
</dl>
<p>The difference between <strong>file</strong> and <strong>bigfile</strong>
datastreams are obvious from class name: bigfile one supports large files
(more than 2Gb) on all supported systems. File one uses streambuf
interface which is limited to 2Gb on many systems.</p>
<p>All other class methods are <a href="#datastream_methods">described
above</a>.<br>
This class implements all possible methods, including fname() and
subfile_open().</p>
<p><a name="buffer_datastream"></a></p>
<h4>class LibRaw_buffer_datastream - memory buffer input interface</h4>
<p>This class implements input from memory buffer.</p>
<p><strong>Class methods:</strong></p>
<dl>
<dt><strong> LibRaw_buffer_datastream(void *buffer, size_t bsize)</strong></dt>
<dd>This constructor creates datastream object from <strong>buffer</strong>
with size <strong>bsize</strong>.<br>
It is not possibly to verify the pointer passed, so buffer address is
checked against 0 and -1 only.</dd>
</dl>
<p>All other class methods are <a href="#datastream_methods">described
above</a>.<br>
This class does not implement fname() and subfile_open() calls, so
external JPEG metadata parsing is not possible.</p>
<p><a name="own_datastreams"></a></p>
<h3>Own datastream derived classes</h3>
<p>To create own read interface LibRaw user should implement C++ class
derived from <strong>LibRaw_abstract_datastream</strong> with all read
methods.<br>
LibRaw standard implementations may be used as reference. See <strong>libraw/libraw_datastream.h</strong>
file for details (all standard LibRaw input classes are implemented using
inline functions only).</p>
