/*
 * Read the contents of an image file and store it into the given
 * libpng structures.
 *
 * The currently recognized file formats are:
 * PNG (standalone), PNG (datastream), BMP, GIF, PNM and TIFF.
 *
 * The function reads either the first or the most relevant image,
 * depending on the format.  For example, embedded thumbnails, if
 * present, are skipped.
 *
 * On success, the function returns the number of images contained
 * by the image file, which can be greater than 1 for formats like
 * GIF or TIFF.  If the function finds more than one image but does
 * not perform a complete image count, it returns an upper bound.
 * The function stores the short and/or the long format name
 * (e.g. "PPM", "Portable Pixmap") into the given name pointers,
 * if they are non-null.
 *
 * If the function fails to detect a known format, it rewinds the
 * FILE* stream stored in io_ptr and returns 0.
 * On other errors (e.g. read error or decoding error), the function
 * issues a png_error().
 *
 * This function requires io_ptr to be a fseek-able FILE*.
 * It does not work with generic I/O routines.
