format - What do these bytes do? -
this hexdump of black 1x1 png made in gimp , exported minimal information:
89 50 4e 47 0d 0a 1a 0a 00 00 00 0d 49 48 44 52 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 08 02 00 00 00 90 77 53 de 00 00 00 0c 49 44 41 54 08 d7 63 60 60 60 00 00 00 04 00 01 27 34 27 0a 00 00 00 00 49 45 4e 44 ae 42 60 82 now after reading the specification quite sure of them mean, except bytes 30-34 between ihdr , idat chunk: 90 77 53 de
can enlighten me?
those numbers crc checksum previous chunk. see in the official specification: 5 datastream structure general overview, , in particular 5.3 chunk layout.
a crc calculated for, , appended each separate chunk:
a four-byte crc (cyclic redundancy code) calculated on preceding bytes in chunk, including chunk type field , chunk data fields, not including length field. crc can used check corruption of data. crc present, chunks containing no data.
here 1x1 pixel image, annotated byte byte. right after data of each of chunks ihdr, idat, , iend crc preceding data.
