+The bitmap library has a single function, __bmp_ReadImage()__, that is called in several different ways to parse BMP headers and subsequently read pixel data.
+The reason the function is called in two passes is to ensure that when the header data is retrieved the image does not exceeded any specific size:
+   * Open file
+   * Read BMP header
+   * Check BMP is correct pixel depth and size
+   * Read pixel data
+<code "C">
+FILE *f;
+int status;
+f = fopen("bitmap.bmp", "rb");
+if (f == NULL){
+   return -1;
+}
+bmp = (bmpdata_t *) malloc(sizeof(bmpdata_t));
+bmp->pixels = NULL;
+status = bmp_ReadImageHeader(f, bmp);
+if (status != 0){
+   fclose(f);
+   return -1;
+}
+if (bmp->width > 200){
+  printf("Error, image is more than 200 pixels wide!\n");
