# About cl-bmp This library implements encoding and decoding for Windows bitmap formats (BMP, DIB, ICO, CUR). ## How To Read a file with ``read-bmp`` or ``read-ico``. From there you can decode the pixel data with ``decode-pixels``. The other way around works with ``encode-pixels`` and ``write-bmp`` / ``write-ico``. See the ``ico`` and ``bmp`` descriptions for information on additional fields.
