Once again, the caller should free the buffer using +XpmFree when finished. + +As a convenience, the XpmReadFileToBuffer and XpmWriteFileFromBuffer are provided to copy a file to a buffer +and to write a file from a buffer. Thus for instance one may decide to use XpmReadFileToBuffer, +XpmCreatePixmapFromBuffer, and XpmFree instead of XpmReadFileToPixmap. On some systems this may lead to a +performance improvement, since the parsing will be performed in memory, but it uses more memory. + +.SS XpmCreateBufferFromImage +The XpmCreateBufferFromImage works as XpmWriteFileFromImage(), it just writes to a malloc’ed buffer instead of to a file. +The caller should free the buffer using XpmFree when finished. + +.SS XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage. +To create an XPM buffer from an XpmImage, use XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage. +The XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage writes out the givenimage to a single block malloc’ed buffer inXPM format. +If insufficient working storage is allocated, it returns XpmNoMemory, and returns XpmSuccess on success. +If the passed XpmInfo structure pointer is not NULL, XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage looks for the following +attributes: XpmComments, XpmExtensions, and XpmHotspot, and writes the related information out as well. +The caller should free the buffer using XpmFree when finished. + +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR XpmCreateBufferFromImage(__libmansuffix__) , +.BR XpmCreateBufferFromPixmap(__libmansuffix__) , +.BR XpmCreateBufferFromXpmImage(__libmansuffix__) |
