libpbm(3) Unix Programmer's Manual libpbm(3)
NAME
libpbm - functions to support portable bitmap programs
SYNOPSIS
#include <pbm.h>
cc ... libpbm.a
DESCRIPTION - PACKAGE-WIDE ROUTINES
KEYWORD MATCHING
int pm_keymatch( char* str, char* keyword, int minchars )
Does a case-insensitive match of str against keyword. str can be a
leading sunstring of keyword, but at least minchars must be present.
LOG BASE TWO
int pm_maxvaltobits( int maxval )
int pm_bitstomaxval( int bits )
Convert between a maxval and the minimum number of bits required to hold
it.
MESSAGES AND ERRORS
void pm_message( char* fmt, ... )
printf() style routine to write an informational message.
void pm_error( char* fmt, ... )
printf() style routine to write an error message and abort.
void pm_usage( char* usage )
Write a usage message. The string should indicate what arguments are to
be provided to the program.
GENERIC FILE MANAGEMENT
FILE* pm_openr( char* name )
Open the given file for reading, with appropriate error checking. A
filename of "-" is taken as equivalent to stdin.
FILE* pm_openw( char* name )
-
Open the given file for writing, with appropriate error checking.
void pm_close( FILE* fp )
-
Close the file descriptor, with appropriate error checking.

ENDIAN I/O
int pm_readbigshort( FILE* in, short* sP )
int pm_writebigshort( FILE* out, short s )
int pm_readbiglong( FILE* in, long* lP )
int pm_writebiglong( FILE* out, long l )
int pm_readlittleshort( FILE* in, short* sP )
int pm_writelittleshort( FILE* out, short s )
int pm_readlittlelong( FILE* in, long* lP )
int pm_writelittlelong( FILE* out, long l )
Routines to read and write short and long ints in either big- or little-
endian byte order.
DESCRIPTION - PBM-SPECIFIC ROUTINES
TYPES AND CONSTANTS
typedef ... bit;
#define PBM_WHITE ...
#define PBM_BLACK ...
each bit should contain only the values of PBM_WHITE or PBM_BLACK.
- -
#define PBM_FORMAT ...
#define RPBM_FORMAT ...
#define PBM_TYPE PBM_FORMAT
#define PBM_FORMAT_TYPE(f) ...
For distinguishing different file formats and types.
INITIALIZATION
void pbm_init( int* argcP, char* argv[] )
All PBM programs must call this routine.
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
bit** pbm_allocarray( int cols, int rows )
Allocate an array of bits.
bit* pbm_allocrow( int cols )
-
Allocate a row of the given number of bits.
void pbm_freearray( bit** bits, int rows )
-
Free the array allocated with pbm_allocarray() containing the given
-
number of rows.
void pbm_freerow( bit* bitrow )
Free a row of bits.

READING FILES
void pbm_readpbminit( FILE* fp, int* colsP, int* rowsP, int* formatP )
Read the header from a PBM file, filling in the rows, cols and format
variables.
void pbm_readpbmrow( FILE* fp, bit* bitrow, int cols, int format )
-
Read a row of bits into the bitrow array. Format and cols were filled in
by pbm_readpbminit().
-
bit** pbm_readpbm( FILE* fp, int* colsP, int* rowsP )
Read an entire bitmap file into memory, returning the allocated array and
filling in the rows and cols variables. This function combines
pbm_readpbminit(), pbm_allocarray() and pbm_readpbmrow().
- - -
WRITING FILES
void pbm_writepbminit( FILE* fp, int cols, int rows, int forceplain )
Write the header for a portable bitmap file. The forceplain flag forces
a plain-format file to be written, as opposed to a raw-format one.
void pbm_writepbmrow( FILE* fp, bit* bitrow, int cols, int forceplain )
-
Write a row from a portable bitmap.
void pbm_writepbm( FILE* fp, bit** bits, int cols, int rows, int
-
forceplain )
Write the header and all data for a portable bitmap. This function
combines pbm_writepbminit() and pbm_writepbmrow().
