Writing unknown chunks
You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up chunks
for writing. You give it a chunk name, raw data, and a size; that's
all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the next following
png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end function.
Any chunks previously read into the info structure's unknown-chunk
list will also be written out in a sequence that satisfies the PNG
specification's ordering rules.
You can use the png_set_unknown_chunks function to queue up private chunks
for writing. You give it a chunk name, location, raw data, and a size. You
also must use png_set_keep_unknown_chunks() to ensure that libpng will
handle them. That's all there is to it. The chunks will be written by the
next following png_write_info_before_PLTE, png_write_info, or png_write_end
function, depending upon the specified location. Any chunks previously
read into the info structure's unknown-chunk list will also be written out
in a sequence that satisfies the PNG specification's ordering rules.
Here is an example of writing two private chunks, prVt and miNE:
#ifdef PNG_WRITE_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS_SUPPORTED
/* Set unknown chunk data */
png_unknown_chunk unk_chunk[2];
strcpy((char *) unk_chunk[0].name, "prVt";
unk_chunk[0].data = (unsigned char *) "PRIVATE DATA";
unk_chunk[0].size = strlen(unk_chunk[0].data)+1;
unk_chunk[0].location = PNG_HAVE_IHDR;
strcpy((char *) unk_chunk[1].name, "miNE";
unk_chunk[1].data = (unsigned char *) "MY CHUNK DATA";
unk_chunk[1].size = strlen(unk_chunk[0].data)+1;
unk_chunk[1].location = PNG_AFTER_IDAT;
png_set_unknown_chunks(write_ptr, write_info_ptr,
unk_chunk, 2);
/* Needed because miNE is not safe-to-copy */
png_set_keep_unknown_chunks(png, PNG_HANDLE_CHUNK_ALWAYS,
(png_bytep) "miNE", 1);
/* Deal with unknown chunk location bug in 1.5.x and earlier */
png_set_unknown_chunk_location(png, info, 0, PNG_HAVE_IHDR);
png_set_unknown_chunk_location(png, info, 1, PNG_AFTER_IDAT);
# if PNG_LIBPNG_VER < 10500
/* PNG_AFTER_IDAT writes two copies of the chunk prior to libpng-1.5.0,
* one before IDAT and another after IDAT, so don't use it; only use
* PNG_HAVE_IHDR location. This call resets the location previously
* set by assignment and png_set_unknown_chunk_location() for chunk 1.
