 * read it, do so first.  This was designed to be a starting point of an
 * implementation.  This is not officially part of libpng, and therefore
 * does not require a copyright notice.
 *
 * This file does not currently compile, because it is missing certain
 * parts, like allocating memory to hold an image.  You will have to
 * supply these parts to get it to compile.  For an example of a minimal
 * working PNG reader/writer, see pngtest.c, included in this distribution.

/* Check to see if a file is a PNG file using png_sig_cmp().  png_sig_cmp()
 * returns zero if the image is a PNG and nonzero if it isn't a PNG.
 *
 * The function check_if_png() shown here, but not used, returns nonzero (true)
 * if the file can be opened and is a PNG, 0 (false) otherwise.
 *
 * If this call is successful, and you are going to keep the file open,
 * you should call png_set_sig_bytes(png_ptr, PNG_BYTES_TO_CHECK); once
 * you have created the png_ptr, so that libpng knows your application
 * has read that many bytes from the start of the file.  Make sure you
 * don't call png_set_sig_bytes() with more than 8 bytes read or give it
 * an incorrect number of bytes read, or you will either have read too
 * many bytes (your fault), or you are telling libpng to read the wrong
 * number of magic bytes (also your fault).
 *
 * Many applications already read the first 2 or 4 bytes from the start
 * of the image to determine the file type, so it would be easiest just
 * to pass the bytes to png_sig_cmp() or even skip that if you know
 * you have a PNG file, and call png_set_sig_bytes().
