<p>
These functions allow to save a <a class="link" href="gdk-pixbuf-The-GdkPixbuf-Structure.html#GdkPixbuf"><span class="type">GdkPixbuf</span></a> in a number of
file formats. The formatted data can be written to a file
or to a memory buffer. &gdk-pixbuf; can also call a user-defined
callback on the data, which allows to e.g. write the image
to a socket or store it in a database.

Currently only few parameters exist. JPEG images can be saved with a
"quality" parameter; its value should be in the range [0,100].
</p>
<p>
Text chunks can be attached to PNG images by specifying parameters of
the form "tEXt::key", where key is an ASCII string of length 1-79.
The values are UTF-8 encoded strings. The PNG compression level can
be specified using the "compression" parameter; it's value is in an
integer in the range of [0,9].
</p>
<p>
ICC color profiles can also be embedded into PNG and TIFF images.
The "icc-profile" value should be the complete ICC profile encoded
into base64.

TIFF images recognize a "compression" option which acceps an integer value.
Among the codecs are 1 None, 2 Huffman, 5 LZW, 7 JPEG and 8 Deflate, see
the libtiff documentation and tiff.h for all supported codec values.
</p>
<p>
ICO images can be saved in depth 16, 24, or 32, by using the "depth"
parameter. When the ICO saver is given "x_hot" and "y_hot" parameters,
it produces a CUR instead of an ICO.
