IJG JPEG LIBRARY:  FILE LIST

Copyright (C) 1994-1995, Thomas G. Lane.
This file is part of the Independent JPEG Group's software.
For conditions of distribution and use, see the accompanying README file.


Here is a road map to the files in the IJG JPEG distribution.  The
distribution includes the JPEG library proper, plus two application
programs ("cjpeg" and "djpeg") which use the library to convert JPEG
files to and from some other popular image formats.  A third application
"jpegtran" uses the library to do lossless conversion between different
variants of JPEG.  There are also two stand-alone applications,
"rdjpgcom" and "wrjpgcom".


THE JPEG LIBRARY
================

Include files:

jpeglib.h	JPEG library's exported data and function declarations.
jconfig.h	Configuration declarations.  Note: this file is not present
		in the distribution; it is generated during installation.
jmorecfg.h	Additional configuration declarations; need not be changed
		for a standard installation.
jerror.h	Declares JPEG library's error and trace message codes.
jinclude.h	Central include file used by all IJG .c files to reference
		system include files.
jpegint.h	JPEG library's internal data structures.
jchuff.h	Private declarations for Huffman encoder modules.
jdhuff.h	Private declarations for Huffman decoder modules.
jdct.h		Private declarations for forward & reverse DCT subsystems.
jmemsys.h	Private declarations for memory management subsystem.
jversion.h	Version information.

Applications using the library should include jpeglib.h (which in turn
includes jconfig.h and jmorecfg.h).  Optionally, jerror.h may be included
if the application needs to reference individual JPEG error codes.  The
other include files are intended for internal use and would not normally
be included by an application program.  (cjpeg/djpeg/etc do use jinclude.h,
since its function is to improve portability of the whole IJG distribution.
Most other applications will directly include the system include files they
want, and hence won't need jinclude.h.)


C source code files:

These files contain most of the functions intended to be called directly by
an application program:

jcapimin.c	Application program interface: core routines for compression.
jcapistd.c	Application program interface: standard compression.
jdapimin.c	Application program interface: core routines for decompression.
jdapistd.c	Application program interface: standard decompression.
jcomapi.c	Application program interface routines common to compression
		and decompression.
jcparam.c	Compression parameter setting helper routines.
jctrans.c	API and library routines for transcoding compression.
jdtrans.c	API and library routines for transcoding decompression.

Compression side of the library:

jcinit.c	Initialization: determines which other modules to use.
jcmaster.c	Master control: setup and inter-pass sequencing logic.
jcmainct.c	Main buffer controller (preprocessor => JPEG compressor).
jcprepct.c	Preprocessor buffer controller.
jccoefct.c	Buffer controller for DCT coefficient buffer.
jccolor.c	Color space conversion.
jcsample.c	Downsampling.
jcdctmgr.c	DCT manager (DCT implementation selection & control).
jfdctint.c	Forward DCT using slow-but-accurate integer method.
jfdctfst.c	Forward DCT using faster, less accurate integer method.
jfdctflt.c	Forward DCT using floating-point arithmetic.
jchuff.c	Huffman entropy coding for sequential JPEG.
jcphuff.c	Huffman entropy coding for progressive JPEG.
jcmarker.c	JPEG marker writing.
jdatadst.c	Data destination manager for stdio output.

Decompression side of the library:

jdmaster.c	Master control: determines which other modules to use.
jdinput.c	Input controller: controls input processing modules.
jdmainct.c	Main buffer controller (JPEG decompressor => postprocessor).
jdcoefct.c	Buffer controller for DCT coefficient buffer.
jdpostct.c	Postprocessor buffer controller.
jdmarker.c	JPEG marker reading.
jdhuff.c	Huffman entropy decoding for sequential JPEG.
jdphuff.c	Huffman entropy decoding for progressive JPEG.
jddctmgr.c	IDCT manager (IDCT implementation selection & control).
jidctint.c	Inverse DCT using slow-but-accurate integer method.
jidctfst.c	Inverse DCT using faster, less accurate integer method.
jidctflt.c	Inverse DCT using floating-point arithmetic.
jidctred.c	Inverse DCTs with reduced-size outputs.
jdsample.c	Upsampling.
jdcolor.c	Color space conversion.
jdmerge.c	Merged upsampling/color conversion (faster, lower quality).
jquant1.c	One-pass color quantization using a fixed-spacing colormap.
jquant2.c	Two-pass color quantization using a custom-generated colormap.
		Also handles one-pass quantization to an externally given map.
jdatasrc.c	Data source manager for stdio input.

Support files for both compression and decompression:

jerror.c	Standard error handling routines (application replaceable).
jmemmgr.c	System-independent (more or less) memory management code.
jutils.c	Miscellaneous utility routines.

jmemmgr.c relies on a system-dependent memory management module.  The IJG
distribution includes the following implementations of the system-dependent
module:

jmemnobs.c	"No backing store": assumes adequate virtual memory exists.
jmemansi.c	Makes temporary files with ANSI-standard routine tmpfile().
jmemname.c	Makes temporary files with program-generated file names.
jmemdos.c	Custom implementation for MS-DOS: knows about extended and
		expanded memory as well as temporary files.

Exactly one of the system-dependent modules should be configured into an
installed JPEG library (see install.doc for hints about which one to use).
On unusual systems you may find it worthwhile to make a special
system-dependent memory manager.


Non-C source code files:

jmemdosa.asm	80x86 assembly code support for jmemdos.c; used only in
		MS-DOS-specific configurations of the JPEG library.


CJPEG/DJPEG/JPEGTRAN
====================

Include files:

cdjpeg.h	Declarations shared by cjpeg/djpeg modules.
cderror.h	Additional error and trace message codes for cjpeg/djpeg.

C source code files:

cjpeg.c		Main program for cjpeg.
djpeg.c		Main program for djpeg.
jpegtran.c	Main program for jpegtran.
cdjpeg.c	Utility routines used by all three programs.
rdcolmap.c	Code to read a colormap file for djpeg's "-map" switch.
rdswitch.c	Code to process some of cjpeg's more complex switches.
		Also used by jpegtran.

Image file reader modules for cjpeg:

rdbmp.c		BMP file input.
rdgif.c		GIF file input.
rdppm.c		PPM/PGM file input.
rdrle.c		Utah RLE file input.
rdtarga.c	Targa file input.

Image file writer modules for djpeg:

wrbmp.c		BMP file output.
wrgif.c		GIF file output.
wrppm.c		PPM/PGM file output.
wrrle.c		Utah RLE file output.
wrtarga.c	Targa file output.


RDJPGCOM/WRJPGCOM
=================

C source code files:

rdjpgcom.c	Stand-alone rdjpgcom application.
wrjpgcom.c	Stand-alone wrjpgcom application.

These programs do not depend on the IJG library.  They do use
jconfig.h and jinclude.h, only to improve portability.
