Comments

Only EXIF, CMP, JPEG, and FlashPix formats support stamps. However, not all files of these formats contain stamps.

At this time, there are no multipage format that supports stamps.

L_ReadFileStamp2 is like L_ReadFileStamp. The difference is that L_ReadFileStamp2 takes a pFILEINFO parameter in order to reduce the number of calls to L_FileInfo. If pFileInfo is NULL, LEADTOOLS has to call L_FileInfo to find out the file format. If pFileInfo is not NULL and contains information about the file format, LEADTOOLS can read the stamp without calling L_FileInfo. In other words, you can speed up the operation by passing a FILEINFO structure using the pFileInfo parameter.
