The BITMAPFILEHEADER structure contains information about the type, size, and layout of a file that contains a device-independent bitmap (DIB).
typedef struct tagBITMAPFILEHEADER { // bmfh
WORD bfType;
DWORD bfSize;
WORD bfReserved1;
WORD bfReserved2;
DWORD bfOffBits;
} BITMAPFILEHEADER;
Members
bfType
Specifies the file type. It must be BM.
bfSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the bitmap file.
bfReserved1
Reserved; must be zero.
bfReserved2
Reserved; must be zero.
bfOffBits
Specifies the offset, in bytes, from the BITMAPFILEHEADER structure to the bitmap bits.
Remarks
A BITMAPINFO or BITMAPCOREINFO structure immediately follows the BITMAPFILEHEADER structure in the DIB file.
