## Data Structures

### libraw_data_t: Main Data Structure of LibRaw

Structure libraw_data_t is a "wrapping" for data structures accessible to the user of the library.
When one uses C++ API, it is accessible as LibRaw::imgdata (class_instance.imgdata). The data in this structure appear after a file is opened through open_file (and other open_ calls), except for the image itself (filled by unpack()) and data containing the preview information (filled by calling unpack_thumb()).

#### Data fields:

unsigned int progress_flags;
  This field records the past phases of image processing .
unsigned int process_warnings;
  This field records suspicious situations (warnings) that have emerged during image processing.
libraw_iparams_t idata;
  The structure describes the main image parameters retrieved from the RAW file. Fields of this structure are described in detail below .
libraw_image_sizes_t sizes;
  The structure describes the geometrical parameters of the image. Fields of this structure are described in detail below .
libraw_lensinfo_t lens;
  The structure describes lens used for the shot. Fields of this structure are described in detail below .
libraw_makernotes_t makernotes;
  The structure contains camera/vendor specific metadata extracted from file. No description provided, sorry, if you're interested in particular tag/camera/vendor - use Exiftool documentation as a reference
libraw_colordata_t color;
  The structure contains color data retrieved from the file. Fields of this structure are described in detail below .
libraw_imgother_t other;
  Data structure for information purposes: it contains the image parameters that have been extracted from the file but are not needed in further file processing. Fields of this structure are described in detail below .
libraw_thumbnail_t thumbnail;
  Data structure containing information on the preview and the preview data themselves. All fields of this structure but thumbnail itself are filled when open_file() is called. Thumbnail read by unpack_thumb() call. The fields are described in detail below .
libraw_rawdata_t rawdata;
  Data structure with pointer to raw-data buffer. Details are described below .

  enum LibRaw_internal_thumbnail_formats tformat
    Internal thumbnail format (this field stores thumbnail decoder needed for thumbnail extraction)
  ushort twidth, theight
    Thumbnail image size. Note: these fields may be zero (so, image size is unknown at parse phase)
  ushort tflip
    Thumbnail image rotation, it may differ from main image rotation. This field may be set to 0xffff, this means 'rotation is not known'
  unsigned tlength;
    Thumbnail on-disk data size
  unsigned tmisc;

  INT64 toffset;
    Thumbnail data offset in file

Note: even if no thumbnails were found in TIFF/CR3 structure, the thumbcount field will be initialized to 1 and thumblist[0] will be initialized to thumbnail data from the thumbnail data, so LibRaw::unpack_thumb_ex(0) will do the same as LibRaw::unpack_thumb().

### Structure libraw_lensinfo_t: parsed lens data

The following parameters are extracted from Makernotes and EXIF, to help identify which lens was mounted on the camera. If the value is missing in Makernotes or EXIF, the parameter is set to zero with some exceptions noted below. In some cases the values for the fields like CameraFormat and CameraMount are set based on the camera model and/or camera ID.

#### libraw_makernotes_lens_t structure:

- LensID (if not -1) and CamID (camera id, if non-zero) values are compatible with those used in exiftool, like |0x0010 CanonModelID| and |22 LensType| see http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Canon.html or 0x0207/CameraType and 0x0201/LensType (see http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Olympus.html )
- Lens string, if not empty, contains the lens name present in Makernotes.
- LensFormat and CameraFormat currently provide one of value from enum LibRaw_camera_formats;
- In a similar manner, values for LensMount and CameraMount follow the enum LibRaw_camera_mounts;
- In some cases, the Makernotes for MF cameras contain either an id for the body, or a string containing the name of the body. The name is copied to body field, while the id is converted to the appropriate body name and also copied to 'body' field. In other cases the 'body' field is empty.
- FocalType is set based on Makernotes tag, if present. The values are:

- -1 Undefined
- 0 Unknown;
- 1 Fixed focal length lens
- 2 Zoom lens

- LensFeatures_pre - lens name prefix and LensFeatures_suf - lens name suffix: (if not empty) some cameras record alphabet soup that characterizes the lens in separate Makernote tags (see, for example, 0xb02a LensSpec at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Sony.html ), and for some lenses those acronyms can be derived from the 'Lens' field itself (see processCanonCameraInfo). Those can also help better lens identification.
- MinFocal and MaxFocal , if non-zero, contain the minimum and maximum focal lengths for the lens mounted on the camera.
- MaxAp4MinFocal, MaxAp4MaxFocal, MinAp4MinFocal, MinAp4MaxFocal - if non-zero, contain maximum aperture available at minimal focal length, maximum aperture available at maximum focal length, minimum aperture available at minimal focal length, minimum aperture available at maximum focal length, respectively.
- MaxAp and MinAp, if non-zero, contain the maximum aperture for the lens (usually it is the maximum aperture for minimal focal length) and the minimum aperture across the focal length range. For zooms with variable maximum aperture this is usually the minimum aperture for the maximum focal length.
- CurFocal, if non-zero, is current focal length - that is the focal length used to take the shot.
- CurAp, if non-zero, is current aperture.
- MaxAp4CurFocal and MinAp4CurFocal, if non-zero, contain the minimum and maximum apertures for the current focal length.
- LensFStops - if non-zero, contains the number of aperture "clicks" or the number of f-stops, depending on the model of the camera.
- TeleconverterID, AdapterID, AttachmentID, if non-zero, are the numbers extracted from Makernotes to identify lens accessories used to take the shot.
- Teleconverter, Adapter, Attachment, if non-empty, are the strings containing the names of the accessories as they appear in Makernotes, or for some cameras, decoded from a numeric field in Makernotes.
- FocalUnits - an auxiliary field, should not be needed most of the cases. See Canon.pm module in exiftool for more information on this value.
- FocalLengthIn35mmFormat, if non-zero: for some reason certain Samsung cameras record this value in Makernotes instead of the EXIF proper. Also used for Sigma cameras.

#### libraw_nikonlens_t structure:

Contains additional parameters needed to identify the lens on a Nikon camera using a table - please see Nikon LensID Values at http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/TagNames/Nikon.html

#### libraw_dnglens_t structure:

Contains minimum focal length, maximum focal length, maximum aperture available at minimal focal length, and maximum aperture available at maximum focal length, extracted from EXIF field of a DNG raw file.

#### libraw_lensinfo_t structure:

Contains all the structures described above, plus parameters extracted directly from EXIF fields:

- MinFocal and MaxFocal , if non-zero, contain the minimum and maximum focal lengths for the lens mounted on the camera.
- MaxAp4MinFocal, MaxAp4MaxFocal - if non-zero, contain maximum aperture available at minimal focal length and maximum aperture available at maximum focal length
- LensMake, if not empty, contains a string with the lens manufacturer name.
- Lens, if not empty, contains the lens name as recorded in EXIF
- FocalLengthIn35mmFormat - if non-zero, same as FocalLengthIn35mmFilm in EXIF standard, tag 0xa405.
- EXIF_MaxAp - if non-zero, contains the value derived from EXIF tag 0x9205.

### Structure libraw_raw_unpack_params_t: RAW decoding options and flags

  - Auto-WB if bit LIBRAW_PROCESSING_CAMERAWB_FALLBACK_TO_DAYLIGHT is not set in params.raw_processing_options (or for the rare specific case: no valid WB index was parsed from CRW file)
  - Daylight-WB if abovementioned bit is not set.
int use_camera_matrix;
  dcraw keys: +M/-M
  - 0: do not use embedded color profile
  - 1 (default): use embedded color profile (if present) for DNG files (always); for other files only if use_camera_wb is set;

  Portion of clipped pixels when auto brightness increase is used. Default value is 0.01 (1%) for dcraw compatibility. Recommended value for modern low-noise multimegapixel cameras depends on shooting style. Values in 0.001-0.00003 range looks reasonable.
float adjust_maximum_thr;
  dcraw keys: none
  This parameters controls auto-adjusting of maximum value based on channel_maximum[] data, calculated from real frame data. If calculated maximum is greater than adjust_maximum_thr*maximum, than maximum is set to calculated_maximum.
  Default: 0.75. If you set this value above 0.99999, than default value will be used. If you set this value below 0.00001, than no maximum adjustment will be performed.
  Adjusting maximum should not damage any picture (esp. if you use default value) and is very useful for correcting channel overflow problems (magenta clouds on landscape shots, green-blue highlights for indoor shots).

  - exp_preser: preserve highlights when lighten the image. Usable range from 0.0 (no preservation) to 1.0 (full preservation). 0.0 is the default value.
int use_rawspeed;
  Turns on using RawSpeed library for data unpacking (only if RawSpeed support compiled in).
int use_dng_sdk;
  Turns on using Adobe DNG SDK (if compiled with it and dng host is set:
  - 0 - do not use
  - 1 - use for speciality formats (Float, Linear DNG, deflate compression, 8 bit)
  - 2 - use for all DNG files
int no_auto_scale;
  Disables pixel values scaling (call to LibRaw::scale_colors()) in LibRaw::dcraw_process().
  This is special use value because white balance is performed in scale_colors(), so skipping it will result in non-balanced image.
  This setting is targeted to use with no_interpolation, or with own interpolation callback call.
int no_interpolation;
  Disables call to demosaic code in LibRaw::dcraw_process()

### Structure libraw_callbacks_t: user-settable callbacks

data_callback data_cb
  Called on data error, settable via set_dataerror_handler. See C++ API for details.
progress_callback progress_cb
  Called on process callback, settable via set_progress_handler. See C++ API for details.
exif_parser_callback exif_cb, params: (void *context, int tag, int type, int len, unsigned int ord, void *ifp)
  Called by EXIF/TIFF IFD parsers on each processed tag.
  Parameters:
  - context: user-specified context, set via set_exifparser_handler()
  - tag: 16-bit of TIFF/EXIF tag or'ed with
    - 0 - for EXIF parsing
    - 0x20000 - for Kodak makernotes parsing
    - 0x30000 - for Panasonic makernotes parsing
    - 0x40000 - for EXIF Interop IFD parsing
    - 0x50000 - for EXIF GPS IFD parsing
    - (ifdN + 1) << 20) - for TIFF ifdN
  - type: tag type (see TIFF/EXIF specs)
  - len: tag length
  - ord: byte order: 0x4949 for intel, 0x4d4d for motorola
  - ifp: pointer to LibRaw_abstract_datastream input stream, positioned to start of data. There is no need to restore data position in callback.
int pre_identify_cb(void *)
  Called with this pointer as the only arg before calling to LibRaw::identify. If this callback return non-zero value, that means that identify() is not needed and all internal data fields are filled with values.
void post_identify_cb(void *)
  Called after identify() from open_datastream(). May be used to tune internal variables after metadata parse.
dcraw_process() callbacks
  These callbacks are called before/after dcraw_process phases, the only passed parameter is this pointer
  - pre_subtractblack_cb - called before black subtraction
  - pre_scalecolors_cb - called before scale_colors() call
  - pre_preinterpolate_cb - called before interpolaton (demosaic)
  - interpolate_bayer_cb - if set, called for bayer demosaic (regardless of params.user_qual value)
  - interpolate_xtrans_cb - if set, called for X-Trans demosaic
  - post_interpolate_cb - called after demosaic step. Note: if this callback is set, standard median_filter() is not called. So, if you need median filtering you should call it from callback function.
  - pre_converttorgb_cb - called after convert_to_rgb()
  - post_converttorgb_cb - called after convert_to_rgb(), so very last processing step.

### Structure libraw_decoder_info_t: RAW decoder name and data format

This structure describes RAW format decoder name and data format:

const char *decoder_name
  Decoder function name
unsigned decoder_flags
  Decoder data format. See list of LibRaw_decoder_flags for details.

### Structure libraw_processed_image_t - result set for dcraw_make_mem_image()/dcraw_make_mem_thumb() functions

Structure libraw_processed_image_t is produced by call of dcraw_make_mem_image()/dcraw_make_mem_thumb() and contains in-memory image of interpolated data or thumbnail.

#### Data fields:

LibRaw_image_formats type
  This field records type of data, containing in remaining fields of structure.
  - LIBRAW_IMAGE_BITMAP - structure contains RGB bitmap. All metadata fields (see below) are valid and describes image data.
  - LIBRAW_IMAGE_JPEG - structure contain in-memory image of JPEG file. Only type, data_size and data fields are valid (and nonzero);
ushort height,width
  Image size (in pixels). Valid only if type==LIBRAW_IMAGE_BITMAP.
ushort colors, bits
  Number of colors components (1 or 3) and color depth in bits (8 or 16). These fields are valid only if type==LIBRAW_IMAGE_BITMAP.
ushort gamma_corrected
  Is bitmap data gamma-corrected (always 1 for 8-bit data, may be 0 or 1 for 16-bit). Valid only if type==LIBRAW_IMAGE_BITMAP.
unsigned int data_size
  Size of data field (in bytes). For bitmap image equal to (height*width*colors * (bits/8)). For JPEG image - exact JPEG size (i.e. extracted thnumbnail size + JPEG header + EXIF header).
unsigned char data[]
  Data array itself. Should be interpreted as RGB triplets for bitmap type and as JPEG file for JPEG type.

## Input abstraction layer

RAW data input (read) in LibRaw implemented by calling methods of object derived from LibRaw_abstract_datastream abstract class. Full list of methods is described in href="API-CXX.html#datastream">C++ API reference.

There is two ready to use implementations of datastream objects:

- LibRaw_file_datastream - file input (filename provided to LibRaw).
- LibRaw_buffer_datastream - input from memory buffer.

LibRaw user can create own datastream object derived from LibRaw_abstract_datastream . For example, such object may implement reading RAW data directly from camera (by remote interface). LibRaw can use these objects via LibRaw::open_datastream() interface.

Datastreams can be used either via LibRaw::open_datastream() call (in this case datastream object should be created an maintained by user) or via LibRaw::open_file() and LibRaw::open_buffer() shortcuts.

Only C++ API users may use object-oriented interface and implement own input interfaces. For C API users only built-on libraw_open_file()/libraw_open_buffer() shortcuts are available.

#### Data fields

Definition:

    	class LibRaw_abstract_datastream {...protected: LibRaw_abstract_datastream *substream;}

Description: Objects derived from LibRaw_abstract_datastream always contains pointer to secondary data stream (substream). This substream initialized internally when needed (really used only for Sony RAW data) and used for temporary switch input stream to temporary memory buffer allocated internally in LibRaw.

Substream usage details described more precisely in own datastream objects creation guide .

## Constants

### enum LibRaw_errors: Error Codes

All functions returning integer numbers must return either errno or one of the following error codes (see also error code conventions ).

Fatal errors (return of such an error code implies that file processing has to be terminated, since the state of data structures is unknown).

LIBRAW_UNSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
  Attempt to get memory from the system has failed.
  All allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and the LibRaw object will be brought to the state "right after creation."
LIBRAW_DATA_ERROR
  A fatal error emerged during data unpacking.
  All allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and the LibRaw object will be brought to the state "right after creation."
LIBRAW_IO_ERROR
  A fatal error emerged during file reading (premature end-of-file encountered or file is corrupt).
  All allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and the LibRaw object will be brought to the state "right after creation."
LIBRAW_CANCELLED_BY_CALLBACK
  Processing cancelled due to calling application demand (by returning nonzero code from progress callback ).
  All allocated resources will be freed, recycle() will be called, and the LibRaw object will be brought to the state "right after creation."
LIBRAW_BAD_CROP
  The incorrect cropping coordinates are set via params.cropbox[]: the left-top corner of cropping rectangle is outside the image. The processing will be cancelled, all allocated resources will be freed, LIBRAW_TOO_BIG
  Raw data size exceeds data limit.

Non-Fatal Errors

LIBRAW_SUCCESS=0
  No error; function terminated successfully.

### enum LibRaw_thumbnail_formats: Thumbnail Data Formats

Thumbnail data format is written in the imgdata.thumbnail.tformat data field.
Presently LibRaw knows about four thumbnail formats, among which two are unpacked:

LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_UNKNOWN
  Format unknown or thumbnail not yet read.
LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_JPEG
  The thumbnail buffer contains a JPEG file (read from the RAW file "as is," without any manipulations performed on it).
LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_BITMAP

  In this format, each pixel of the image is represented by a 8-bit RGB triplet.
LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_BITMAP16
  The thumbnail buffer contains the gamma-adjusted 16-bit RGB bitmap. To get this format instead of LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_BITMAP you need to set LIBRAW_PROCESSING_USE_PPM16_THUMBS in processing options.
LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_LAYER
  Data format is presently recognized upon opening of RAW file but not supported: not unpacked into LibRaw::unpack_thumb.
LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_ROLLEI
  Data format is presently recognized upon opening of RAW file but not supported: not unpacked into LibRaw::unpack_thumb.
LIBRAW_THUMBNAIL_H265
  The thumbnail buffer contains a H.265 data frame (read from RAW file as is, no manipulations performed on it).

### Nonstandard Situations (Warnings) during RAW Data Processing

Some suspicious situations emerging during image processing are not fatal but may affect the result of data retrieval or postprocessing. Such states are indicated by setting a bit in the imgdata.process_warnings field.

LIBRAW_WARN_BAD_CAMERA_WB
  Postprocessing must use white balance of the camera but this balance is not suitable for use.
LIBRAW_WARN_NO_METADATA
  Only for cameras where the metadata are taken from an external JPEG file: metadata extraction has failed.
LIBRAW_WARN_NO_JPEGLIB
  Only for P&S Kodak cameras: data in JPEG format. At the same time, open_file() will return LIBRAW_FILE_UNSUPPORTED.
LIBRAW_WARN_NO_EMBEDDED_PROFILE
  (only if LCMS support compiled in). Caller set embedded input profile use, but no such profile exists in RAW.
LIBRAW_WARN_NO_INPUT_PROFILE
  (only if LCMS support compiled in). Error when opening input profile ICC file.
LIBRAW_WARN_BAD_OUTPUT_PROFILE
  (only if LCMS support compiled in). Error when opening output profile ICC file.
LIBRAW_WARN_NO_BADPIXELMAP
  Error when opening bad pixels map file.
LIBRAW_WARN_BAD_DARKFRAME_FILE
  Error when opening dark frame file.
LIBRAW_WARN_BAD_DARKFRAME_DIM
  Dark frame file either differs in dimensions from RAW-file processed, or have wrong format. Dark frame should be in 16-bit PGM format (one can generate it using simple_dcraw -4 -D).
LIBRAW_WARN_RAWSPEED_PROBLEM
  Problems detected in RawSpeed decompressor. The image data processed by LibRaw own decoder.
LIBRAW_WARN_RAWSPEED_UNSUPPORTED
  This file not supported by RawSpeed (although compatible decoder exists).
LIBRAW_WARN_RAWSPEED_PROCESSED
  Not warning, but information. The file was decoded by RawSpeed.
LIBRAW_WARN_FALLBACK_TO_AHD
  Incorrect/unsupported user_qual was set, AHD demosaic used instead.
LIBRAW_WARN_PARSEFUJI_PROCESSED
  Not really a warning, but flag that fuji parser was used.
LIBRAW_DNGSDK_PROCESSED
  Not really a warning: image was decoded by DNG SDK
LIBRAW_DNG_IMAGES_REORDERED
  DNG sub0images was reordered
LIBRAW_DNG_STAGE2_APPLIED
  DNG Stage2 conversion was performed
LIBRAW_DNG_STAGE3_APPLIED
  DNG Stage3 conversion was performed

### enum LibRaw_image_formats - possible types of data, contains in libraw_processed_image_t structure

type field of libraw_processed_image_t structure may have one of these values:

LIBRAW_IMAGE_BITMAP
  The structure contains RGB-bitmap, metadata described in other fields of libraw_processed_image_t.
LIBRAW_IMAGE_JPEG
  libraw_processed_image_t structure contains JPEG image (in memory). Only data_size field is meaningful.

### enum enum LibRaw_processing_options - bit that affects RAW data extraction

These flags could be OR'ed with imgdata.params.raw_processing_options:

Pentax 4-shot options:

- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_PENTAX_PS_ALLFRAMES - merge all frames for Pentax 4-shot files

Floating point DNG files:

- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_CONVERTFLOAT_TO_INT - convert FP data to 16-bit integer

Sony ARQ Files:

- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_ARQ_SKIP_CHANNEL_SWAP - do not perform Sony ARQ channel swap to RGBG channel format, but use RGGB original channel order

DNG processing flags:

- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DONT_CHECK_DNG_ILLUMINANT - skip DNG illuminant check when parsing DNG color data (use for compatibility w/ older LibRaw versions).
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DNGSDK_ZEROCOPY - do not copy data extracted by Adobe DNG SDK into separate buffer, but use DNG SDK buffer as is.
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DNG_ADD_ENHANCED - if set, LibRaw will add Enhanced DNG frame (NewSubfileType == 16) to the list of available frames.
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DNG_ADD_PREVIEWS - if set, LibRaw will add previews (NewSubfileType == 1) to the frames list.
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DNG_PREFER_LARGEST_IMAGE- By default, DNG frames are not reordered and are available in same order as in DNG (LibRaw traverses IFD/Sub-IFD trees in deep-first order).This bit will prioritize the largest image
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DNG_STAGE2 - request DNG Stage2 processing (by DNG SDK)
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DNG_STAGE3 - request DNG Stage3 processing
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DNG_ALLOWSIZECHANGE - by default, if image size parsed by DNG SDK does not match image dimensions parsed by LibRaw, processing will stop with LIBRAW_DATA_ERROR code. This flags allows size change in LibRaw::unpack() stage.
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_DNG_DISABLEWBADJUST - by default, for DNG images with different per-channel maximums WB adjustment procedure is performed. This flag disables such adjustment.

Other flags

- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_NO_ROTATE_FOR_KODAK_THUMBNAILS - disable auto-rotation for Kodak PPM bitmaps
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_USE_PPM16_THUMBS - enable 16-bit PPM thumbnails
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_ZEROFILTERS_FOR_MONOCHROMETIFFS - by default, LibRaw assigns bayer pattern for Monochrome TIFF files (e.g. images from Kodak 760).This does not work as expected if input file is really monochrome (e.g. scan from Imacon X1 in monochrome mode).This flag will force monochrome mode for TIFF RAWs w/o bayer filter tags (so, it will break old Kodak processing). It is better to make it settable via user interaction.
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_PROVIDE_NONSTANDARD_WB - If set and when applicable, color.cam_mul[] and color.WB_Coeffs/WBCT_Coeffs will contain WB settings for a non-standard workflow. Right now only Sony DSC-F828 is affected: camera-recorded white balance can't be directly applied to raw data because WB is for RGB, while raw data is RGBE.
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_CAMERAWB_FALLBACK_TO_DAYLIGHT - if use_camera_wb is set, but no camera-recorded white balance present in metadata, then fallback to daylight WB (default: fallback to auto-balance).
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_CHECK_THUMBNAILS_KNOWN_VENDORS - Some cameras (e.g.Ricoh) may record broken thumbnail in file:data offset plus data size is beyond filecontents. This flag enforces size+offset checks for files from known vendors (this will result into correct but smaller thumbnail selected).
- LIBRAW_RAWOPTIONS_CHECK_THUMBNAILS_ALL_VENDORS - same is above, but check is performed regardless of vendor (Make tag).

### enum LibRaw_rawspecial_t - special/non standard RAW extraction modes

These flags are applied to imgdata.rawparams:
