A PNG datastream consists of multiple chunks. This module, and the classes contained within, help with handling these chunks. It supports both reading and writing chunks.
All chunk types are instances of the {ChunkyPNG::Chunk::Base} class. For some chunk types a specialized class is available, e.g. the IHDR chunk is represented by the {ChunkyPNG::Chunk::Header} class. These specialized classes help accessing the content of the chunk. All other chunks are represented by the {ChunkyPNG::Chunk::Generic} class.
Reads a chunk from an IO stream.
@param io [IO, read] The IO stream to read from. @return [ChunkyPNG::Chung::Base] The loaded chunk instance.
# File lib/chunky_png/chunk.rb, line 18 def self.read(io) length, type = io.read(8).unpack('Na4') content = io.read(length) crc = io.read(4).unpack('N').first verify_crc!(type, content, crc) CHUNK_TYPES.fetch(type, Generic).read(type, content) end
Verifies the CRC of a chunk. @param type [String] The chunk's type. @param content [String] The chunk's content. @param found_crc [Integer] The chunk's found CRC value. @raise [RuntimeError] An exception is raised if the found CRC value is
not equal to the expected CRC value.
# File lib/chunky_png/chunk.rb, line 34 def self.verify_crc!(type, content, found_crc) expected_crc = Zlib.crc32(content, Zlib.crc32(type)) raise ChunkyPNG::CRCMismatch, "Chuck CRC mismatch!" if found_crc != expected_crc end
