Method
GimpParasiteget_data
Declaration [src]
gconstpointer
gimp_parasite_get_data (
const GimpParasite* parasite,
guint32* num_bytes
)
Description [src]
Gets the parasite’s data. It may not necessarily be text, nor is it
guaranteed to be NULL-terminated. It is your responsibility to know
how to deal with this data.
Even when you expect a nul-terminated string, it is advised not to
assume the returned data to be, as parasites can be edited by third
party scripts. You may end up reading out-of-bounds data. So you
should only ignore num_bytes when you all you care about is checking
if the parasite has contents.
