Vips.Image.heifsave_buffer

### Method

# Vips Imageheifsave_buffer

#### Declaration [src]

    int
    vips_heifsave_buffer (
      VipsImage* in,
      void** buf,
      size_t* len,
      ...
    )

#### Description [src]

As `vips_heifsave()`, but save to a memory buffer.

The address of the buffer is returned in `obuf`, the length of the buffer in `olen`. You are responsible for freeing the buffer with `g_free()` when you are done with it.

Optional arguments

- `Q`: `gint`, quality factor
- `bitdepth`: `gint`, set write bit depth to 8, 10, or 12 bits
- `lossless`: `gboolean`, enable lossless encoding
- `compression`: `VipsForeignHeifCompression`, write with this compression
- `effort`: `gint`, encoding effort
- `subsample_mode`: `VipsForeign`Subsample, chroma subsampling mode
- `encoder`: `VipsForeign`HeifEncoder, select encoder to use
