im_init(3)

im_init3

Make an image descriptor

Usage

#include <vips/vips.h>

IMAGE *im_init( char *filename )

Overview

im_init(3) allocates space for an IMAGE descriptor, sets all fields to initial values, and returns the descriptor. A copy is made of the filename argument. The IMAGE returned by im_init(3) should be passed to im_close(3) to free it.

This function is used internally by VIPS and should not be called by users.
