Urvang Joshi f903cbab9a Chunk fourCCs for XMP/EXIF
Use separate fourCCs "XMP " and "EXIF" instead of a common "META"
Also, some refactorization in webpmux.c

Description:
============
WebP Mux: library to create a WebP container object for features like
color profile, metadata, animation and tiling. A reference command line
tool 'webpmux' and WebP container specification 'doc/webp-container-spec.txt'
are also provided in this package.
WebP Mux tool:
==============
The examples/ directory contains a tool (webpmux) for manipulating WebP
files. The webpmux tool can be used to create a WebP container file and to
extract or strip relevant data from the container file.
A list of options is available using the -help command line flag:
> webpmux -help
Usage: webpmux -get GET_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT
webpmux -set SET_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT
webpmux -strip STRIP_OPTIONS INPUT -o OUTPUT
webpmux -tile TILE_OPTIONS [-tile...] -o OUTPUT
webpmux -frame FRAME_OPTIONS [-frame...] -loop LOOP_COUNT -o OUTPUT
webpmux -info INPUT
webpmux [-h|-help]
GET_OPTIONS:
Extract relevant data.
icc Get ICC profile.
exif Get EXIF metadata.
xmp Get XMP metadata.
tile n Get nth tile.
frame n Get nth frame.
SET_OPTIONS:
Set color profile/metadata.
icc file.icc Set ICC profile.
exif file.exif Set EXIF metadata.
xmp file.xmp Set XMP metadata.
where: 'file.icc' contains the ICC profile to be set,
'file.exif' contains the EXIF metadata to be set and
'file.xmp' contains the XMP metadata to be set
STRIP_OPTIONS:
Strip color profile/metadata.
icc Strip ICC profile.
exif Strip EXIF metadata.
xmp Strip XMP metadata.
TILE_OPTIONS(i):
Create tiled image.
file_i +xi+yi
where: 'file_i' is the i'th tile (WebP format),
'xi','yi' specify the image offset for this tile.
FRAME_OPTIONS(i):
Create animation.
file_i +xi+yi+di
where: 'file_i' is the i'th animation frame (WebP format),
'xi','yi' specify the image offset for this frame.
'di' is the pause duration before next frame.
INPUT and OUTPUT are in WebP format.
Note: The nature of EXIF, XMP and ICC data is not checked and is assumed to be
valid.
WebP Mux API:
==============
The WebP Mux API contains methods for adding data to and reading data from
WebPMux (a WebP container object). This API currently supports XMP/EXIF
metadata, ICC profile, animation and tiling. Other features will be added
in subsequent releases.
Example#1 (pseudo code): Creating a WebPMux object with image data, color
profile and XMP metadata.
int copy_data = 0;
WebPMux* mux = WebPMuxNew();
// ... (Prepare image data).
WebPMuxSetImage(mux, &image, copy_data);
// ... (Prepare ICC profile data).
WebPMuxSetChunk(mux, "ICCP", &icc_profile, copy_data);
// ... (Prepare XMP metadata).
WebPMuxSetChunk(mux, "XMP ", &xmp, copy_data);
// Get data from mux in WebP RIFF format.
WebPMuxAssemble(mux, &output_data);
WebPMuxDelete(mux);
// ... (Consume output_data; e.g. write output_data.bytes to file).
WebPDataClear(&output_data);
Example#2 (pseudo code): Get image and color profile data from a WebP file.
int copy_data = 0;
// ... (Read data from file).
WebPMux* mux = WebPMuxCreate(&data, copy_data);
WebPMuxGetFrame(mux, 1, &image);
// ... (Consume image; e.g. call WebPDecode() to decode the data).
WebPMuxGetChunk(mux, "ICCP", &icc_profile);
// ... (Consume icc_profile).
WebPMuxDelete(mux);
free(data);
