.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS

int

int width, int height, int bpp, int offset )
int

im_vips2raw( IMAGE *in, int fd )
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B im_raw2vips(3)
mmaps the file named, setting image
.B out
so that access to that image will read from the file.
The parameters specify the image width, height, bytes per pixel and offset
in bytes from the start of the file.
Use functions like
.B im_copy_morph(3)
to set the pixel type, byte ordering and so on.
.B im_vips2raw(3)
writes the pixels in the IMAGE to the file descriptor. It's handy for writing
writers for other formats.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The functions return NULL on error.
