Member Data Documentation

const char* DD::Image::ReaderDescription::names

Null separated list (as in "sgi\0rgb\0") of identifiers for this file type.

If "xyz" is in this list then a filename of "*.xyz" or "xyz:*" are considered to be of this type.

If test is not null this is only considered a hint. A filename of "*.xyz" is tested against this first, but all other types are tried if it fails. This allows a mis-named file to be read.
