If it can help I use the following procedure wich read only the header of the
image filename and return a char* representing the type of image
char * typeImage (char * filename)
{
char * type ;
type = new char[6];
strcpy (type,"ANY");
char header[64];
FILE * fichier;
fichier = fopen (filename,"rb");
if (! fichier) return type;
fread (header,sizeof (char),64,fichier);
fclose (fichier);
if (memcmp(header, "GIF87a", 6) == 0 ||
memcmp(header, "GIF89a", 6) == 0)
{
strcpy (type,"GIF");
}
if (memcmp(header, "BM", 2) == 0) // BMP file
{
strcpy (type,"BMP");
}
if (header[0] == 'P' && (header[1] == '3' || header[1] == '6'))
{
strcpy (type,"PPM");
}
if (header[0] == 'P' && (header[1] == '2' || header[1] == '5'))
{
strcpy (type,"PGM");
}
if (header[0] == 'P' && header[1] == '1' )
{
strcpy (type,"PBM");
}
if (memcmp(header, "\211PNG", 4) == 0)
{
strcpy (type,"PNG");
}
/*
if (memcmp(header, "\377\330\377", 3) == 0 &&
header[3] >= 0xc0 && header[3] <= 0xef)
*/
if (memcmp(header, "\377\330\377", 3) == 0)
{
strcpy (type,"JPEG");
}
if (memcmp(header, "II*", 3) == 0||memcmp(header, "MM*", 3) == 0 )
{
strcpy (type,"TIFF");
}
return type;
}
