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:

png_unknown_chunk unkc[2];
