Constructor
VipsSourcenew_from_file
Declaration [src]
VipsSource*
vips_source_new_from_file (
const char* filename
)
Description [src]
Create a source attached to a file.
If this descriptor does not support mmap and the source is used with a loader that can only work from memory, then the data will be automatically read into memory to EOF before the loader starts. This can produce high memory use if the descriptor represents a large object.
Use vips_pipe_read_limit_set() to limit the size of object that
will be read in this way. The default is 1GB.
Parameters
filename-
Type:
const char*Read from this filename.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
Return value
Type: VipsSource
A new source.
| The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it. |
